Bought home a ball python today...

[JOE]

We are also in the process of adopting another beardy from the shelter...

They're an Australian native. How do you come by them in Canada?

Is the OP truly serious?



I hope for her sake & her child she's just making it up.



A python attack five years ago killed two children after it escaped from a pet shop in New Brunswick Canada:

Other than for zoos those things should be banned for the public good.



BT this is one reason I favor the ownership of at least one small handgun for home use.



To protect its inhabitants in the event that they are attacked in cases like that.



If I lived next door to someone with a python I'd wanna have a gun for self defense

For Christ sakes Joe, ball pythons are small and docile. Man, you are a wuss.

Welfare mommies really shouldn't be bringing home exotic pets...  Sorry.

Berry Sweet isn't Odinson, she works.

'Chuck' has not picked that up yet.  And reptiles are much cheaper to take care of than a fur baby.

They are??

Yes.  The start up might be expensive with all the equipment, but I already have it all.  They only eat 1x week.

They eat live mice don't they?

[Berry Sweet]

They eat live mice don't they?

In the wild yes...but as a pet, you buy them frozen, thaw and then feed.   Sometimes the rodent will bite and harm the snake and then they wont want to eat it...causing more damage...so frozen and thawed is best.

[Anonymous]

That is more convenient than raising mice for food for your pet snake.

[Berry Sweet]

Yeah.  You buy them frozen at the pet store.

You like big old snakes do you Berry.
