Rescue: Reticulated Python

That was panic-inspiring alarmist SCHLOCK. I have to say the dumbass going in the burm cage with all the chinchilla hair all over him - should go fall down a flight of stairs. The other guys trying to handle these things BY THEMSELVES . . again give em a push down the stairs. Snakes that big are a 2 man task - it's that simple.

(lol sorry this was not directed at you Alk - I am still just venting from having watched that)

No worries Smulkin ^_^

I didn't bother to watch the whole thing myself

While I know they tend to pick the worst case scenario's and then blow them out of proportion, I still think it merits a little bit of caution to whoever is thinking about getting one of these giant pythons.

And I'm aware that its a multiple person job myself, any self-respecting person who owns one of these will tell you its pretty much impossible to pick one of these guys up themselves. Which means its impossible to care for one correctly by yourself.

*BTW Smulkin, your old Avatar was much much better*

I saw that same show about two months ago and watched again last night and all but the poor chick in India using the outhouse and the last keeper at the end who had help and a back up plan they were morons. Plain and simple.
Yeah let's clean out my pet rodents cages then play with them and then go stick my upper body in my snakes cage and wonder why!?!
It did add fuel to the fire on why people shouldn't be able to keep snakes but hopefully it scared a few fools who might have bought them one.
ARpython downing the gazille was pretty cool.( sorry I am not a speller)
For me a BCI ( male) is about as big as I wanna go.

HI all,
The retic is doing great!
It has already shed, and is loving his / her new enclosure. Her bloodwork came back good, and we will see how he / she does over the next few weeks with eating and such. (althou I don't have a doubt she will eat well.
I will upload some pictures now, bad ones, as my husband is not home, but pics none the less.
I'll post them soon
Rusty

Here is a pictures.
I am unable to take her out as I am home alone (2 person sized snake).
But here is the best I could do:

Ok here ya go:

Thanks

If one can tell that a snake looks content...I would say that one does! Can't wait to see more pics!

HI all,
Update is that she is doing well, eating and shedding like mad. Which is a relief to us.
For some reason everytime I go to take a picture of her she is in her hide away. We were able to move her to "general population" and she is settling into her new enclosure well. She seems to hide more then ever, but that could just be everytime I think to check her out she is hiding. Well, I promise to get a few pictures shortly.
