Marty’s photo of the day #3989: My rainbow boas, Adam and Eve, are both seven-feet-long and twenty-one years old. This is one of their babies from ten years ago. Adam and Eve now live in separate terrariums, because Adam goes into Catholic priest mode whenever he’s with Eve, and they’ve had quite enough babies for […]

For fifteen or more years, Deb and I have enjoyed catching glimpses of the elusive peacocks that live in the Essen Wildlife Refuge that surrounds our house.
