new boys, new jobs and a new snake!

What a hectic week!

On wednesday me and Matt (AKA Matthias Bussman Strongman) went down to Brighton to pick up a rescue snake from the RSPCA reptile centre. He is an 8 foot common phase Burmese python (pic to follow when I get one!) and his story is a sorry, but not uncommon one. Likely purchased by his owner without much thought or prior experience he quickly became too large or "aggressive" for them to handle, he was left in a viv under the stairs and pretty much forgotten about. Nervous, frightened and malnourished, the RSPCA took him and have been getting him used to people and being handled again, and getting him in good condition for the last 6 months and trying to find him the right home- which they now have! He is from now going to enjoy a fullfilling career in both education and also glamorous entertainment as he will be lodging at Shepreth Wildlife Park (to be used for daily talks and school visits), while also working for Tabitha's on his nights off! Perfect! At the moment he is quarantining with us in the snake's den before moving to his new home at the park, and his debut will be at the Bizarre Ball on 14th June, with handler Hope Rising.

We are very happy to be working with a new (to us) entertainment agency by name of Calmer Karma http://www.calmerkarma.co.uk/ who have sent an enquiry our way this week fpr a bollywood event that will give us a chance to show off another new costume (above)!

Also this week we have had several calls from the lovely people at Hellfire Entertainment now known as EXPLOSIVE EVENTS http://www.explosive-events.com/ who had a few enquiries for us and who were keen to hear and see more of our male handlers, who I've been doing photo shoots with this week.

Matt has now been joined by Mr Mill Millican Cagefighter, a tattooed scotsman, to aid in his snake wrangling escapades and together they will make a perfect team.

The photos are in editing at the moment but I have a few quick snaps to share today for those impatient from hearing me bang on about them for so long!
