Kali.
I had to give her up when I moved out of my mom's house because when you are disabled on ssi you cannot own a house,and my mom made a dumb investment. I couldn't bring her to my hud apartment. The landlord thought snakes were icky and scary.
I gave her to my friend who's a veterinarian,she loves snakes and was making a huge snake room for her snakes and wanted a boa.
I know Kali is in loving hands. But I miss her so much .
She got to be almost 8 foot long in my care and was a very tame sweetheart. I'd take her for walks in my neighborhood in the summer,she was like a heat sink and really loved riding on me wrapped around my waist with her tail tucked in my pocket for balance.
Here's a pick of my sweet Kali.
We had an upstairs porch that overlooked our backyard and a little grape arbor that my husband enclosed in chicken wire that we christened "the cat deck." The cats loved hanging out there.
One night at some ungodly hour, I woke up to a really loud whirring sound. My husband was still awake downstairs when I heard him yelling at me to get up. Tom, one of our cats, had caught a bat. We managed to get Tom to drop the bat, but our other four cats started stalking it so it was quite the circus trying to wrangle them out of the room. Thank goodness for French doors, lol. The little guy proceeded to fly in a panic around the living room, even wedging himself behind a wall clock. We were finally able to trap it under a colander after we removed the clock then slipped a book between the bat and the wall and carried it outside. I placed the little bat in a bush to let him recover. The tiny guy was panting and I swear I could hear his little heart beating a mile a minute. After a little bit, he managed to gather his wits about him and fly away.
I was really tired the next day at work. 
Even though there had been no reports of bats carrying rabies in the area, I was glad the cats were all vaccinated, just in case. I guess word got around the local bat community because it never happened again. I'm still amazed at the loud, sonic, whirring sound that little creature produced. It was fascinating.
