James, when I was there I wasn't a cigar smoker, and really didn't see much of the island. I'm betting that about all you're gonna find is Phillipino cigars. I suggest you have several bros ready to ship them to you on a regular basis.

Just send the cigars to James c/o Andersen Air Force Base. With rank, first and last names, they will get to the proper destination. James, you can run but you can't hide.

You wouldn't want to do that, we are too cute and cuddly and playful. Plus, you don't want to rile up the Massholes. Next lessons on locating the Junior Officers' Bachelor Housing.

In their natural habitat these guys generally max out at 5-6 feet, but they're getting bigger on Guam due to the easy pickings and optimal temperatures. It's a shame they're federally banned; I would not at all mind adding some of the Guam giant Boiga to my collection. They are a bit drab and their venom is nothing to write home about, but at a size like that they might be fun to play with. Sneak me back two or three of those 8-footers in your pocket, would ya?

This is how much fun they are to play with.

OK. But don't click here if you're snake-phobic.

I hope you like to drink alone . Last time I was in Guam it was a hop/layover in '94. It's similar to Diego Garcia, but the reef has more Tiger sharks...seriously though, not a bad place at all

I'm not snake phobic. AWESOME stuff Tanith!!!! I few years ago, I got a backstage tour at Reptile Gardens in Rapid City, SD. Terry took out several things for my ex-wife and I to see. I got to actually touch a Gabon viper, and hold both a beaded and a Gila. Also, probably the most beautiful snake I've ever seen was the Eyelash viper he took out. AWESOME!

And then to stay on topic...never been to Guam, but because of the snakes (as Tanith mentioned) that are an invasive species, you will not hear birds. One reason they are growing bigger than their cousins in the true natural habitat is that there are no natural predators in Guam for them (aside from us). A good friend of my wife was born there, but that's all I know about it.

Heh, I was just smoking cigars with Terry at Venom Week. Small world.

Raising baby eyelash vipers is a tough job; they often need assist feeding. But what he has that I'm envious of is some of the Australian species that rarely make it out to this side of the puddle. Me likey tiger snakes and redbellied black snakes.

He's also very muscular and athletic, and can suddenly extend himself about five feet past the lip of his exhibit cage when it's open. Which is about where I'm standing when I do the opening, so dodging him becomes an amusing pastime.
Your idea of amusing is greatly different than mine.

You should have seen the photographer's face. A large, territorial male king cobra will present quite an athletically impressive response when shown a baseball cap, which mimics a rival's hood. But honestly, it is much easier than it sounds. They just don't weigh that much, and if the naughty creature charges me, it's really pretty easy to physically control him.

I still want to play with some of those 8-foot Boiga from Guam. I expect I'll have to go to Guam to do it however; all joking aside, it would be a BAD idea to import any to the States.
