I have to admit - I don't know much about keeping giant pythons...but looking at this video today i was really surprised to see albino titanium at 50 seconds. Its literally crammed into a tub. Is this how folks keep retics?

I'm hoping that snake was just there while they were cleaning it's permanent enclosure.. If not that's pretty sad.

I wouldn't be surprised if that it's permanent cage until it gets larger just because of space issues and housing/breeding so many snakes in the facility.

I literally just got my first baby giant today (mainland ST) and I can say when she's full grown she won't be in a tub: I just can't fathom one that would be large enough for ANY adult dwarf/mainland retic. Mainland girls need at LEAST 6-8' enclosures, and the male in the vid should be in at LEAST a 4' viv IMO. But I'm not a breeder of course, just my .02

havent heard many good things about those guys...

looks kind of like a 500 gram ball python in a 6qt tub...

That's really sad if that's it's regular tub, honestly. There's no way it can easily move around at all, all squished in there like that... that can't be healthy.

I know snakes like small dark places etc etc, but that would be like being forced to live in your bathtub....

If that is the case seems like pretty poor planning to me.

I will never buy an animal from prehistoric pets after watching that. If you dont have the room then dont get the animals. Theyre clearly only it for the money. I feel really bad for that snake.:(

I highly doubt thats just a temporary cage due to the substrate and water dish. They must sit there 24/7 waiting for that snake to crap or piss, bc its not even like the snake could move to the other side of the tub when it goes to the bathroom in it. To think i feel bad when i dont check on my snakes every other day...

Prehistoric Pets: You suck. Care to share why you decided to disable comments for that video?

Poor thing :(

I believe i have heard the nickname butcher from baghdad in reference to the man in the vid. I could be mistaken... I have seen some vids of him cutting his eggs and he hacks nearly every vain in the eggs. then he pulls the snakes pretty much all the way out to see what he got. After watching that I decided to stay far away...

It would seem he is in it entirely for the money....
