There’s a new member of the house, and he’s slithering his way onto your social media feeds. Recently, I decided to incorporate my new pet snake into one of my recent Express Men campaigns. Fortunately, he’s more photogenic than I am. Marvolo, my new pied-ball python, is almost as captivating and elegant as the silk emerald green dress shirt I picked up from Express Men’s newest collection this month.

With it being a new year and all, it was time to revamp and spice up my wardrobe. Not only is Express offering a slew of new deals for the new year, but they’ve decided to add a bit of reptilian flare to their line-up as well (animal cruelty-free of course). Little did I know that Marvolo would make a perfect addition to the photoshoot. His pied white, brown, and green color pattern went hand-and-hand with my attire. Not only is Marvolo a full-grown ball python, but he’s the friendliest snake I’ve ever handled.

Make sure to swing by Express or go to Express.com to check out some of their newest deals—snake not included – David Plowden, David’s Manor.
