Forum: General Pythons

so with all the increased activity in the morelia section, i figured it'd be fun to take a little census on the matter... whether you keep them now or you have no plans to keep carpets, feel free to respond as to why. :)

I was holding Mr. Snake last night, and he was slithering up and over my finger. This was putting some pressure on his belly, similar to a massage, and when my finger was 3/4 the way down his body, maybe slightly more, I heard a small pop. Did he fart? Or did I participate in snake...

Vote wether or not you believe your snake knows and show affection in odd noticable ways.

Alright, we all know about Dwarf Burms, HD Burms, Dwarf Tics, and SD Tics, BUT has anyone ever heard of a Dwarf Bateater? Or Half Dwarf? Or SD? Whatever it would be... Has anyone seen one, known of any past "failed" attempts, or know of any one trying this? Thanks!

James the Stimson's Python had a bad shed last week, and I can't get this one piece off... it appears he got the underside piece stuck in his chin (where their skin "cracks"), and that caused trouble with the rest of it. I managed to get about 95% of the stuck shed off with a rub-down, but I've...

I'm really interested in snakes... And I was wondering what some really sweet and docile snakes that stay around eight feet are? I've always liked big snakes... and I have a ball python now ;) I'm just curious to see which 'big' snakes are the sweetest, but don't get ten feet long. Snakes kind...

Back in high school, the only snake in my collection was this female spotted. About a month ago, I picked up a new male. The baby is kind of nuts, but I think he will settle down. I like these animals, they never skip a meal, and are not so big and scary. Even months since the last shed, she is...

Here are a couple more pictures of Zina. She is now a feeding monster ! She would probably eat every other day if I would let her, LOL. I've also handled her more between feedings and she is calm as can be. The only hard part is getting her out, as she didn't like to be "grabbed". She can move...

Hello all I am new here and I just purchased a Irian Jaya Carpet Python last Saturday at a reptile expo and everything looked great. Now I have noticed some spots on his skin and am curious to what they are and if I should be concerned. This is my first Carpet Python and absolutely love him and...

Don't know if it's a male or female or what I'm going to do with it... but rescued this today. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Will probably go to a friend of mine in a few days. I wish I could keep it. Yes I know the aquarium is too small but I don't have anywhere else to...

my snake just ate a fuzzie mouse on her own for the first time. it took her a while and the mouse never died she just ate cuz she tried constricting it for about 10 minutes and it never died. so i put her back in the cage and i put her on top of the UTH and she stayed in the hide for a lil bit....

Hello, Wanted to introduce my Angolan Python female "Zina". Used to keep Ball Pythons and miss them (hence I found this forum) Right now I only have Zina, but thinking about getting back into Ball Pythons. Perhaps 1 or 2. Zina came to me as a very shy snake, not a good eater. She still...
