Hoss is getting big, pics inside

My Yellow Tail is getting huge now and finally putting on some girth. He shed today so I thought I would share some photos.

I'm thinking you are probably too young to even know who "Hoss" was. But that's o.k., as I barely remember myself! Lol.

David, you have done a great job so far! He is looking much better! He's a good lookin snake. And with the right female, he will make some good lookin babies! I want a pair! Keep up the good work!

Thanks! Yeah I don't know who Hoss is but I love the name. Now I will have to look him up. LOL

We talkin' about Bonanza?

That is a great looking snake you have there.

Nice YT... Hope he keeps growing all the way to that mythic 12 foot mark ;-)

Yup, back in the 60s, when I was a kid, there was a t.v. show called "Bonanza". It's where Michael Landon got his start. One of the main characters was a big fella named Hoss. Lets hope your YT lives up to his namesake.

The Bonanza character of Hoss Cartwright was played by Dan Blocker, an impressively large man with a gruff but lovable character. Dan costared with Frank Sinatra in his 1968 Tony Rome detective movie, "The Lady In Cement", in which Frank says to another character about Dan, "Don't shoot him, you'll only make him mad!"

"Dan Blocker" is also the name of an entertaining song by Gurf Morlix on his CD "Toad of Titicaca" (CCR 004).

All in all, Hoss is an excellent name for such an impressively large and imposing creature.

Thanks for the info! I heard the name and knew it was a character but didn't know much else. From the way this guy is going I am sure he will be a beast and live up to his namesake.
