bloody hell...imagine being eaten by your own pet!

snakes and reptiles in general are probably my most favourite animals. i have always wanted a pet python, but i will have to wait til i move out of home...and be well cashed up!

I have two royal pythons - they are absolutely ace pets

yeah they would be mad to have as pets. although i'd imagine theres a lot of maintenance involved?

Sorry to hear that!

But you have reminded me of an interesting story my housemate told me,

His friend had a Cobra or something similarly deadly that had been de-venomed or something, so it was allowed to roam around the house freely. One day this friend noticed the snake hadn't been eating very much at all, in fact barely enough to live. Then one morning she woke up to find the snake lying rigid on her bed next to her. She tried moving it, but it stayed rigid, completely straight, basically like a stick. She got very worried, that incident, and the lack of eating, made her think the snake was very ill.

She put it in a box and took it to the vet and explained the situation. So the vet says, "He hasn't been eating and he's lying on your bed, full length, rigid like a stick...? Going to have to put him down. Sorry." She's naturally upset and thinks it's because he's really ill and asks what's wrong.

"It's not because he's ill, it's because he's sizing you up! Every now and again, some snakes (not all) will just suddenly flip, and realise that you are essentially food. So what they do is starve themselves for ages to empty themselves out, then straighten themselves out next to you to see if they're long enough to fit you inside them. You're lucky you noticed, another couple of days and he could have tried eating you..."

Makes you never want to have a house snake again....

To be honest, my housemate never lies about anything, so if his mate made it up then fine, but I don't believe he'd make it up.

and he is adorable. he is pure white with one blue eye and one green eye, and is slighty nutty.

Ewww, you've tasted him? That's a bit minging.

On a serious note, hope he gets all well again!

No offense, but that snake on the bed story's an oldie. It couldn't be a Cobra as they're illegal to keep regardless of being de-fanged/milked etc and even a large pet snake like a Burmese Python couldn't eat an entire person.

I used to have 2 Cali Kings and a Mexican Black myself and although one of the Cali's was several mental scales short the full skin and attacked anything, I'd still say snakes make excellent pets.

Not as excellent as Lizzes though. Bearded Dragons are possibly the cutest Lizzes available ^^ Had two, both died at ripe old ages after being completely ruined in a good way throughout their lives. I'd have another one tomorrow. Seriously.

Not that I don'y love Jay and Sparky (CKCS & lovebird) of course, I just prefer more unusual pets.
