Yeah! I had read about that story, but that is what you get from irresponsible owners. 11 Foot Burm. with free roam of the house and not fed for some days or weeks. Just not right. Very bad press for us responsible snake owners. :mad:

yeah i know.everytime something like that happens,it gives us responsible snake keepers a bad name.even when venomous species of spider kills someone,it gives us tarantula keepers a bad name as well.

it is common to not feed larger snakes for weeks, depending on the size of the meal. the free roam part was just stupid though

//sigh//

SPO!
(stupid pet owner)
Giving all of us GOOD pet owners a bad rep.

I hate how the only time I see snakes in the news its something bad. You never see a T.V. report on how snakes make awesome pets and really arn't that dangerous if kept by responsible owners.
