Snakes
 

Each to their own and all that.

But who the fcuk feels the need to keep a massive snake in their house?

this to do with those two kids killed?

One escaped from a pet shop in Canada with tragic consequences.

Yeah - some big snake, approx 4.5 metres in length weighing 45kg :eek:

I suspect foul play here.Constricting Snakes don't kill unless they plan to eat the prey. They also bite the prey (normally the head) when they constrict. Snakes do not attack prey that is to big to consume let alone 2 at the same time.
I keep snakes and have done for many years. I used to bread snakes and sell them into the pet trade.

...On A Kid

Too soon?

I work with a few snakes

lol

I agree insofar as something doesn't smell right about this case!! That's not to say there is foul play, but this would be VERY atypical behaviour of a constrictor!

To those that say WTF to owning snakes; they actually make excellent pets IF you are prepared to do your homework and tend to the animals specific environmental requirements.

Snakes on a wain?

:lol:

I had a ball python, an 8 foot jungle python and a california king snake, awesome pets.......I also had scorpions/chile rose tarantula and praying mantis-it was like ****ing jumanji in my house

Girlfriends sister came home one day put her hands up to top cupboard to get something and landed on damn great snake. I think she was quite shocked

Everybody in the street came. To kill it. :(

The sister or the snake?

:lol:

:thumb: man after my own heart. I have a Chillian Rose thats now 18 years old :thumb:

What if the kids were rubbing up on a rabbit or were playing with a perfume the animal coundt resist or cold the sheer weight sloding over them kill them?.

Fcuking horrible bstard things, who would want to keep something with zero personality as a pet?

Keep rat population down?

She is dead now tanks for asking


Wasn't the snake though

It stops my mother from visiting :thumb:

Ah, you be surprised mate. Most pythons available as pets are gentle (to humans) and inquisitive creatures! It's a privilege being in the presence of one of natures great predators and they're actually very pleasant to handle :thumb:

Eeeeeek, not sure I'd advocate this, but shows how placid they can be!

I agree, plus you cant beat a good old corn snake as a pet. There quite comfortable with kids handling them, easy to look after and a fun creature to study. Downside is they are master escape artists :lol1:

I prefer hovis.

yeah yeah, everyone's bullying me over my spelling tonight. Damn spell check is as thick as i am :lol1:

Most of us marry them ..

Yeah, I tend to agree.
I've never understood any of that, keeping snakes, tarantulas etc as pets - WTF.

Plus from what I can tell from owners is all they want to do it try to bite you, because they see the hand as food.

Spade through the back of the head is what they need I'm afraid to say
