Sebastian needed a bath to help him shed. Guess I need to plug in and fill that humidifier again - thought the swamp cooler would keep overall humidity high enough, but not so, in the reptile room.

So Sebastian is in the bath, and he won't stop being cute. I thought to myself "my, those water droplets make him look so gentle and vulnerable". Then I got the camera, instead of trying to re-stage him somewhere more interesting at a future date.

When I came back in the bathroom, he was peeking over the edge of the tub, flicking his tongue. I made a video and captured the DARN CUTEST FRAME THAT EXISTS to post here :)

Sebastian is an amelanistic (not albino) Burmese Python, about 7 feet long (2.1 meters), 15 pounds (7kg). He's 2 years old, hatched summer 2012.
