Not so Loveable or Cuddly...... by shepherdmanswife

Not so Loveable or Cuddly......

as the baby Raccoon uploaded yesterday. This is a python, I think! He wasn't easy to photograph as he wouldn't keep still. I guess he didn't want to pose for me. Maybe he was thinking about doing other things!!!! Hope he wasn't hungry!

The Party Animals Ltd came to our house last Saturday to entertain the 4 grand children who were at our annual family get together to celebrate 2 birthdays normally, but this year we had 4. I can certainly recommend them 100%. They were professional and very knowledgeable about each of the 15 exotic animals they brought for us to handle. The animals included a baby fox, baby raccoon, naked guinea pig (apart from his head), a baby meerkat who looked up your nose, inside your ears, into your mouth and through your hair looking for bugs to eat!, a barn owl, something that looked similar to a raccoon but was called something else, 2 snakes, a scorpion, a tarantula, a blue tongue lizard, a gecko, 2 giant millipedes and other things that I can't remember. Fantastic experience.
You were brave to look this fellow in the eye! Nice focus on the tongue, but a glance is all I need!!

Now this is really a closeup! What an incredible capture of its tongue - and you seemed to have been rather close to this thing!

This is an incredible POV. He probably was sensing you - I believe they might feel warmth of a living animal with that tongue. Too close for my comfort.

I can never get my snakes to sit still long enough to catch their tongue out - but then I don't set up and keep clicking either - I just take shots as they wrap around me lol
