Ball Python

OK...this is crazy.
What makes our show unique and very different from any show you will ever see any where?
It's got to be a family performing together right? No....in fact we just referred a great family act to ABC for a TV show and we have run across family singing groups, cloggers, dancers, magicians, etc. Then it must be an act full of variety right? No....there are tons of variety acts. And there are tons of acts that specialize in just magic, just juggling, just side show stuff, just snakes,, just birds, etc. Wait...lets look back there...did I say snakes....yeah, I'll get to that.
What makes us so darn unique is that we are a family that performs a very unusual variety of stuff. We have the magic and illusions, we have the juggler who stilt walks and unicycles, we have a teenager who is a master of the bullwhip including insane stunts, he also lays on beds of nails, has bricks broken on his tummy, eats fire (like his old man....me), and occasionally walks on glass, and the irony is he also performs as a balloon tiwsting clown who rides a reaaaaaaly tiny bike. We have the Quick change artist slice-em-up, make her float 17 year old daughter, the 7 year old who gets tied up with 100' of rope and does other escapes as well and occasionally turns into a 21 pound bunny. We have the 5 year old who can read the mind of adult or child and the 3 year old who upto today just made bunnies and doves and sometimes a chicken appear....well she wanted a snake.
If you read the last blog entry you know we took her to a pet store to see if she really wanted a snake...you know let her handle it. She did. She loved it. it was a tiny corn snake and she thought it was cute. The cold scales above as the muscular insides wrangle around didn't freak her out. So off to Craig's List and low and behold there is a gentleman wanting to thin his herd and is giving away a Ball Python with a cage and all the trimmings. Grant it it's a two and ahalf hour drive. But worth it.
Tomorrow Princess Olivia will become Princess to the snake...we will keep it away from the bunnies...though the 21 pound one might give the snake heartburn...or worse.
We will post photos soon.
