Who Likes Snakes? ( Archived) (99)

I bought my son a Ball Python for his birthday and now he is shipping off to the military.
His name is Monty.
Nice fellow non aggressive.
I've had some really nasty Snakes over the years , this one is like a flower just sits there and eats mice .

I don't have a problem with snakes, spiders or any creepy-crawly things, no!!

I wouldn't have any problem with looking after one but I wouldn't have one for keeps. I love lizards but I believe all those kinda creatures should be in their natural habitat.

I'm into snakes, don't own any. I used to handle Rattle Snakes in Arizona. Diamond backs, Green mohaves, Red Mohavies. and A very large Northern Black tail.

Well, I live in their Natural Habitat Hunny Bunny :)

I have a phobia about snakes.

Yeah !

Now your talken my Language , HAd sevreal different species of rattlers I use to keep in a home made pen under the trailer.
I once found a baby sidewinder no bigger than my thumb nail, if it wern't for the fact I was looking for termites to feed my Geckos I would never have spotted it.
My brothers and I also caught the State record Sidewinder off Sunset rd in Henderson, was nearly 4 ft long

Most women do, which is why I wonder why they are attracted to men ?

That's a big one, most sidewinders in Az are only 14 inches to 2 feet. Too small to handle. I moved a 6 foot bullsnake out of the road by the elemenery school. He was just sunning himself right in the middle of busy traffic. They are harmless, but can bite hard, this one was slightly pissed when I mocved him,.

Now the flip side to this is. I had a friend from Michigan who had a thing for reptiles. He had a monitor lizard in his house. When he came to visit me. He captured a gila monster, took it home, The two got along great. Then the next year hey took home three diamand backs. Well for some reason he thought these snakes neede to hibernate. He placed one in a freezer for a while. When he too it out, the snake bit him. He was in the hospital, his whole left side paralized for at least three days. While in the hospital, his family went to his house and killed everything. This I was not able to confirm. Sad. I haven't spoke to him since before he was hospitlized. Not a smart move on his part with the freezer trick. Rattlesnakes have been known to be able to still move in temps below 30 degrees.
