i want to get a pet.

they are basically the least temperamental of snakes.. besides corn snakes.. dangerous.. not at all.. i've never been bit by him.. i've been bit by a ball in the past.. and its nothing really.. just feels like a bunch of needles quickly pokin ya.. i'm sure it could strangle me if i put up no resistance to it.. but i keep it away from my neck personally... i don't want to piss him off either if he does get tight around my neck and i got to unravel him and he bites me in the face

yeah.. i've posted this one before... the name comes from the Super Birthday Snake episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force

 

haha Oh yeah, I remember that episode.

 

yeah.. a lot of people end up with them because they are "so cool looking" yadda yadda.. and totally have no idea how to take care of them at all.. my tank is all set up.. 3ft wide.. 2ft deep and 2 feet tall.. it'll be big enough for him the rest of his life.. i keep the humidity at ~70% and his tank stays between 80-90F... he's got 2 shelters(one with a reptile heat pad) and 2 water dishes..

 

he's all about that fresh cypress i just put in the tank... he was burying his head in it lol

 

is he fast?
what would happen if you let him roam around in a yard?

do they have snake leashes? hahaha

 

lol @ "snake leashes". haha

ahahahahahaahahaha

 

no.. i do not let him roam in the grass.. that would be stupid.. he could end up with mites.. or run into something that may not be good for him

 

lol yeah, im a dirty hippie right now. thats good advice

 

A human, I hear they make good pets.

 

yeah i heard that those mites get in the scales and are a pain in the ass.

 

hes a beauty

 

i almost stepped on a snake when i was younger, that fucker was coiled up and it started raising itself off the ground.

scared the piss right outta me

i think one of the only times a snake has ever tried striking at me

 

I came across a couple of snakes a long time ago, but they didn't really scare me or anything. I just went about my business. lol Spiders creep me out a lot more than snakes.

 

im a spider killer, i cant tell if theyre good or bad, and we get alot of brown recluses around here, so i just smash em.

 

i dislike spiders simply cause when i was a young young child i had a particularly nasty spider bite right on my family jewels...most painful thing ever

i dont mind a lot of spiders but if i think it is a brown recluse i dont hesitate to squish it...ive had bad run-ins with them...
im not afraid of snakes, i just dont like when they try to fucking eat me - so i run away at that point

 

i stepped on one the other day, by accident, that was chillin in the riprap along the dike while i was out with my dog.. he just darted off..

 

PS: @Dazed.. if you do buy a snake.. just remember.. they are a 20-30yr commitment

 

my hubby just got out of the hospital from a brown recluse bite. so especially am more alert than usual!
