supposed to be a ball python

Ya my big female anaconda is almost 12' and just over 30lbs, and she's on a rabbit every 2 weeks and she acts like she wants more haha. But she's also a pretty sedentary snake unless she's out and about, but it's breeding season and locking constantly so I haven't been handling her. It is really a case by case thing, and there is no golden rule to follow.

Just feed appropriate sized meals, and look close, they will let you know when they are hungry. Most of this hobby is observation of your animals, reading, and understanding what they need.


I like my Dubstep to go Wop Wop Wop Wop

Yeah that's totally a ball python! Lol I am so sarcastic :P No WAY is that a ball python!!!!

You don't want that turning out like satan (brian at BHB's Aggressive Burm) Here is a link of how hellish your life would be if it turned out like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10_zJ8Evskk. Not meaning to scare your…he he he:P

i have been handling him every night and he is starting to really mellow out he hasnt struck at me in about a week. so im going to keep working with him and hopefully i will have him tame eventually

Am I the only one thinking it's wildly irresponsible to go pick up a ball python, see that it's a burm, and just pick it up anyway and bring it home? I'd get hung here if I went in detail with my opinion, which is a shame because decisions like this threaten responsible keepers rights.

PLEASE make sure this animal is properly caged and safely kept and cared for - that's going to require a lot of research and time. I'm glad you're working with the animal daily and please be careful as well about the advice you receive and who you receive it from. Also make sure that if you end up rehoming the snake, you give it to someone who has demonstrated the knowledge and ability to properly keep it.

I would get killed too. We're at our limit with pets I rescued a almost adult Bearded Dragon 2 weeks ago & the next day my daughter comes in with a 3 legged box turtle she found & it has teeth marks/holes in the top of the shell so we took this turtle to the vet & was told because it is injured & handicapped it needs to be in a safe environment. 2 new kids in 2 days. Gotta find out where these things are coming from :D Antonio

It is if you recognize it as a Burmese and take it knowing that you aren't prepared to deal with it. Personally I would bring it home, but only because I have two empty 8'x30" enclosures at the moment that are already set up with heat and t-stats, so it would have an appropriate place to live. If after a few months of working with it I figured that it wasn't going to work out, I could find an experienced keeper for it.

IMO the seller is the wildly irresponsible party in this transaction for advertising a Burmese as a ball python.

I'm trying to figure out what keywords landed on this year and half old thread. Kudos for using the search function. :gj:
