Bought home a ball python today...

[cc]

My son had a friend whose family had a serious python.



On picking son up from a visit there I noticed in the next door neighbor's  yard a tree stump right next to the property line with a huge very wide bladed ax  deeply embedded  into it



Statement or what? Damned near peed myself laffin

Anyway, Berry doesn't have a toddler at her house.

A declawed kitten would frighten Joe.

I owned a Colombian Redtailed Boa got him when he was the size of my baby finger , feed him live pinkies to start(baby mice/rat) then tried frozen bought everything from my friend who bred snakes,spiders,hissing cockroaches,other strange insects, frogs,lizards,monitors...etc, even had some Komodos (babies)



had to switch Clyde from frozen to live(which I'd stun to avoid injury to Clyde) because he got depressed and ignored frozen or spit it out(which it extremely unhealthy)



Pythons can get pretty big and have big teeth I know my Snek got to around 10 feet..



Snek handling wasn't for me though ,so I ended up giving him away...



and congrats on the new edition Berry

I remember a friend had a 15' boa, ate rabbits. I was tripping on acid when that thing started to peel, was freaky, even the floor started to do a waving effect lol.

I think of that movie Every which way but loose, when I think of Clyde, and now ya got me imagining your pet snake driving you around, and you going "right turn Clyde"

There's still a lot more dogs and cats.

But very few pet snakes.



I think it may have something to do with the fact they can kill you.

I'm guessing he means there are more dogs and cats as pets here than snakes.

What???

What sort of country do you live in???

Well, I traded the python last week for a gecko.  I liked the snake but it didnt want frozen anymore...it wanted live food...I'm very uncomfortable about that.  So I traded with a friend.  The kid lived her gecko and her kids loved my snake...so it was a good trade!

A gecko is smaller and should be easier to handle.

This one is older and is a nice plump one.  Very cute.  No more animals for now.



There is a gecko that looks like a leaf and blends right I to nature...I really like those.  I wouldnt mind one for myself.  I had my kids bday at an animal santuary where they got to have hands on tour with a guide...I was going to get that gecko they had there while I was there, but it got adopted out :( the bday was success tho!  The kid got to go in with the huge tortoises and feed them! She loves tortoises! You can only do this atbut he santuary if you have a party and are the birthday girl...so this was well worth it...she was so happy she was crying!
