This reminded me of the time back in Nova Scotia in 1992 . We had visited an amusement park and one part of the prk had snakes on display. I actually posed with a snake .

Look at me I am actually holding on to this huge snake, hmm I am having fun !

Second picture is definately a boa constrictor.
I hate to admit it... but I actually like snakes. That is a very nice looking snake too. Is it a ball python?
