Description
I don't know if it's just the fact that I've been handling tiny little Rémy so much recently, but Dorien has gotten big. Huge. I think he just had a growth spurt or something. I need to measure him, but that's pretty tricky.Related content

Oh he's a beauty! 
I'm seriously considering buying a mexican black myself but I was wondering, (excuse me if this sounds really dumb) but when you defrost the mice to feed them with do you just have dead mice laying about? I would imagine so as I don't think you can just shove dead rodents in the microwave. I have to know for certain because there are kids in my house and I'll have to make sure they don't get a hold of the food supply.

Yes, that's pretty much how it works. Microwaving them is a really bad idea. I tried that years ago when I first got him, and the mouse exploded! lol Just make sure you have them out of reach and you should be fine. This is the best snake I've ever owned. You won't regret getting one. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about them.

I want one of these sooo badly. ;___;
I see them at work all the time, and I just want to take one home with meee~ xD
This is a beautiful shot! He looks very healthy. <33

Someday! I had to wait for like 5 years before I was able to get him. Parents didn't want snakes in the house, so I had to wait until I got my own place, but he was the first reptile I bought.

Baww~ <33
That's probably going to be my situation, too. Though I'm having a hard time deciding whether I want a snake or a rat. Rats are so sweet and cuddly~ ;___;

Gorgeous snake! I'd never seen this species before, but he's very handsome and a nice shot you've taken, too. I have a wild-caught Eastern King, but it looks like he's a helluva lot bigger than your Remy; he's about four feet.

This is Dorien, actually, not Remy. Dorien's at least three feet now, but I haven't tried measuring him for a while, since he refuses to cooperate at all.

Ah, it's always hard to tell how big they are when they're wrapped around your hand like that.

Ooh, Have you been feeding Dorien steroids? O.o He looks huuge!

Uh... only mice. Unless the mice are on steroids.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. And the steroids are coming in through the ventilation system you have... and the windows. XD.

Then how come I'm still short!

Hehehe, It doesnt make you taller silly. But it does make you beefy. Can you bench press a car yet? XD.. I can
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not very beefy either. I can lift my bike though!

Hey! It takes a lot of will power to take that bike up the stairs when I ride to work in the morning!
