Tatuaje Ambos Mundos Robusto #2

I agree with you on this. I think some rest will do these good. Not sure if years are going to help but a month or two may smooth things out on this one.. Nice review.

This stick tasted *fresh*. As in, way too fresh. Maybe it's just my palate, but I don't think they're ready to smoke and enjoy at this stage at all, and it's like committing infanticide to do them in that early.

I may see about resting one for a few months, but if I was going to lay some of these down, my inclination would be to go at least a year, and for my personal palate, more like three to five years. I think this stick could stand up to that.

My camera gear is in ghod-knows-which-box since I just moved. I did take a few crappy cell phone pics after I'd gotten him gentled down enough for my non-herpetological-expert boyfriend to hold, because he was just too cute. For those of you who freak out about snakes, a successful "snake whispering" takes about five minutes on average, and then most of them are fine with gentle handling and being posed for photos. Maybe ten or fifteen minutes if the snake is venomous; the hook and tail method takes longer. Google "elaphe obsoleta" and you'll see the lovely visitor who graced us with his presence.
