DarlaS Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Here is Jerry the Snake kickin' back in his (hopefully) escape proof enclosure. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSmomNY Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Great snake. Don't bet on the "escape proof enclosure". :glare: My snakes got out regularly. Still a great pet.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenL Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 My son would love him! However, mom and dad cannot get past all the snake escape stories to allow him to get a pet snake! Yes, we are wimps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'm just glad your son is 13. I've been trying very hard to convince my DD that the "recommended for ages 12 and up" on the sign for snakes and lizards at the pet store means that she can't have one yet, except for her digital one on Neopets! Have fun with the new family member-and here's hoping he stays safely contained! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Oh, he's a beauty. I'd love a pet snake, but I don't think the resident cats would approve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 My ds15 has a snake too...Monty Python. He is a Stimson python. Here we can only have native snakes from our own state- no imports- and there are only 2 breeds that are non poisonous, allowed for pets. He has shed so many times- it is such a wonder to see. Yes, snakes are escape artists. Ours has grown a fair bit and the books sitting on the lid were suddenly not heavy enough to keep him in recently. Ds was watching a horror movie at 7am the other morning- all alone- and suddenly, right at a scary part, his snake appeared on the TV set and then dropped on the floor in front of it. He was terrified for a split second!ANother time, we were in the garden and dh suddenly saw a snake. It turned out to be Monty- he had escaped- but fortunately was recaptured. Ds15 wasnt feeding Monty enough recently and when dh put a mouse into his cage, the snake, normally very docile, came out and grabbed it out of his hand. I love snakes. Enjoy!

wendybird Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 He is beautiful. We have two, and they truly are escape artists, no matter how escape proof the enclosure.Still worth it though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I used to volunteer at a zoo and two of our snakes were "Monty" python and "Lucille" Ball python. I'd love to get a snake some day but oldest dd will be graduating soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMary2 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Fun! My DS14 has 3 snakes - Ball Python (Bella), California King Snake (Bob) and a Cornsnake (Corny). HE loves them, I tolerate them :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 We had a California Gopher Snake growing up. A lock on the cage is essential. The only time he escaped was when someone forgot to lock his cage. Good old George (George, George, George of the Jungle, Friend to you and me).

I love snakes. Enjoy! Smart snake. He knows the difference between a hand and food. I would take that as a good sign! Love the name. He is at this moment crawling over 10 yo dd. She's as smitten as his owner (DS 7 is not so sure....). I wonder how many more snakes are in my future. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
