AND BELLYDANCE
"Just wanted to tell you that I saw your show Wednesday night with the “Superstars” & how much I enjoyed your performance. It was a real treat for me, because it was the first time I’ve seen you dance with your snake! I loved your music & choreography – & your projected silhouette was awesome! I was very impressed with the show on the whole." Lynda N., Denver, CO April 2004

 This
is a picture of a Columbian red-tailed boa. My boa as of January
2004 is
about 5 feet long, he eats one large rat every two
weeks. |
I have also taken my snakes up to my children's school classroom to show them the snake and talk a little about the history of dancing with them. The kids make a great audience. They are completely interested in learning about the snake. Most of them take a turn petting him. My snakes are so used to being handled that he is very comfortable with the children. Snakes make wonderful pets, but they are not for everyone. You do have to feed them live prey, some people buy frozen, dead mice or rats and feed them. Some people feed their snakes freshly killed. I personally, cannot kill a rat, so I feed my snake live. See my links page for some
wonderful snake sites for you to read and learn a little more about this
beautiful creature. |
This is a
picture of Buto, the Egyptian snake goddess. She was a cobra goddess
whose
cult-center was in the Delta of the Nile. She was also called the
"Lady of Heaven" and
the Queen of all the gods. To learn
more about Egyptian gods & goddesses, see my links
page and surf away!
I
recommend the magazine REPTILES, for all you reptile and amphibian lovers
out there.
In the September 2000 issue is an article entitled
SEARCHING FOR THE NILE MONITOR
IN THE LAND OF THE PHARAOHS which has some great
pictures of Egypt. I recommend
this high-quality magazine if you are
interested in keeping and caring for your snakes or
other reptiles &
amphibians. You can e-mail them for
ordering info. Don't forget to include REPTILES in the subject line.
