so my little cousin has a pet snake as long as she is tall.... i thought it was really cool.. i am seriously thinking about getting one.. always wanted one as a kid.. but was never allowed.. now things work a little differently even though i live with my parents still.

how much work is it, did you notice a smell, etc...

i've always liked ball pythons.

 

my cousins python takes smelly craps

i think its the rats they feed it lol

 

lol bruce you still living with your folks?

 

of course, i couldn't afford travelling and drinking any other way.

 

one day i pictured you as a lead singer of a death metal band..titled as 'Alcoholica' and with a katana in your hand of course..lol

 

Mr Fee is madd hardcore & bumps black chiney in his ride

 

talking of snakes...my cousin who lives in mississagua has a ball python..its a young one..jsut three months old. its fed with dead mice and what not...its a dirty process in my opinion..haha but he once fed it with a live baby mouse...damn...but that was just bad imo.

so if you want one...you will be getting dead frozen animals for it to feed on..either you make frequent trips to the store or you keep a small freezer for them. smell can be prevented if you regularly clean the enclosure. its not just like keeping birds....its a lot of work.

once these pythons grow big...it becomes tricky. the worst is when they are hungry...they will damn strike anything that moves within their proximity...even you....so feeding them at that time is a whole different ball game and if you have kids around in the house or even when they visit.....make sure the snake is in its cage.

long story short...pythons can not be domesticated...the instinct is just too strong as a predator.

 

are you crazy or ignorant? they are called ball python because they curl up into a ball when they want to hide.. with their head in the middle...

most snakes are not very aggressive. ball python's are exceptionally relaxed (on average)

they can't be domesticated to the point where they will slither to the door when you come home and chew your shoes when you neglect them.

they are actually much less work than keeping birds... ball pythons can be fed once every two weeks.. and will **** once per feeding.. their '****' is acid... all this requires is spot cleaning.

a ball python only on average grows to 5' and is not large enough to kill a cat or anything bigger.

we're not speaking about a burmese python or an anaconda....

god willing, one day you'll say something correct.

 

my cousins python is about 4 years old now i think... seems fairly harmless... its grown a lot, but its just as timid now as it was a few years ago, he still handles it and what not

 

i own a black mexican king snake. i feed it a mouse every week and make sure there is always water in the bowl and clean the aquarium once a month. easy to maintain it does its thing and i do mine.

 

lol.. my old snake.. hows he doing BTW??

 

Check out my Colombian Boa Constrictor Imperator (BCI).

She's about 3 years old and 4 feet long. She eats once every 2 weeks and is a great pet.

I've owned all sorts of pets since I was a kid, birds, fishes, frogs, hamsters, rabbits, dogs, and I can honestly say that this guy is the easiest to take care of by far! I notice no smell. he stays in his cave most of the time and comes out at night. I throw him a live hopper mouse or two ( $1.99 each at pj's in STC ) about every two weeks. That the only time I can't handle him. Like a day or two after a feeding he will strike at anything in his Terrarium. I still have the little tank he came in and heat lamp if you want it. come pick it up for free and you can check him out!

 

hey man, where in scarborough are you located?

that would be really cool if i could come by and check him out.

 

I live near Scarborough Town Center. Mc Cowan and Ellesmere. I'm free on weekends and evenings. If you want I can set up a feeding if you're coming by.

 

thats so creepy man im **** scared of snakes... i went back home to sri lanka and ended up not seeing any of my family because i was too scared to go into the areas engufled with king cobras and **** :|

 

i have a snow corn he is about 6ft long but thin probly about the diamiter of a tooney



i think its a great pet the only time they smell if if u play with them 2 mutch and **** them off


in selfe defence they wil **** this white stuff and o man it ****ing stinks hahaha
