Getting bit by our beloved snakes....

That's the place!! :bounce: Your stories are hilarious! I wonder how many other honeymooners have been bitten by wild animals in that place? hehehe


Our honeymoon was almost 16 years ago and we didn't live in San Antonio at the time...but we did live there for 4 years, fairly recently. I made many trips to that little reptile zoo you're talking about. That was when my intense interest in snakes was beginning to blossom. We even had my daughter's b-day party there and freaked some moms out when their kids came home with pics of them with a giant python draped over their necks!

was it that big albino burm they drape over everyone that walks in lol?

Yup...sweet as pie, that one.

As I learned more, I found myself questioning a number of their husbandry techniques, but it was still a pretty neat place.

EDIT: PS -- That's where I held my first ball python and fell in love with them!

yeah they deffanatly have husbandry problems. They have like 6 Retics in the same tank across from that Burm. In the tank with the big momma Retic whos the largest in Texas I think 30'. And in their BP tank they have 4 or more of them together. They keep their hots seperate as far as I could tell. Oh man last time i was there a goat in their outside petting area got up on me being "very friendly" andhow he had some not so nice stuff on his hoofs that I wore around for a while.
Bigest scare I ever had was the first time I went there and didnt know that the Albino Burm was a sweet heart, they had her out and about unattended just crawling about. Well I turn a corner and lean against the wall for a break from the heat and the wall moved behind me. I stood up and slowly moved away and turned around and low and behold i was leaning back on a huge ...free.. unsupervised burm. Now I know she is sweet but she is still a snake. And there were kids playing around and you know if one of those kids went poking on her and for some reason that one day she decided to not be a sweetie there would be hell to pay. they leave her out and about all the time, just crawling around the place with no one around watching her now. I still go and hold her now and then but im still cautious and am just waiting for the wrong time that something bad happens. Who know if one of these kids has a pet rodent of some kind and smell like prey at the wrong time yah know.

No tags here yet, knocking on wood. Scar my big male took a few shots at me a week ago. This is the first time I ever saw a snake go for me so I was moving quick. It was a SFE as y'all put it. I am up to five snakes with one on the way and two more potential ball next Wednesday. I just take my time and try to judge the snake. My corns are "flighty", but I am getting used to them and thier quick movements. They always seem like they are going to tag me. I just hope I don't jerk back when they do.

I NEVER thought rosy boas bit until mine bit me......again it was a SFE, totally my fault...but I now laugh at it cause instead of the mouse pinky, he went for MY pinky and would't let go...:LMAO:..!!
