But they weren't housed together in the pic...simply put together for the pic...

which she also stated later on that they were housed seperately...that newcomer would have read that as well...

But your right...everybody takes care of their animals their own way. As long as they are taken care of and are kept healthy that's all that matters in my book.

Truer words were never typed! Case closed. :)

I wasn't going to get involved besides my previous mention of disease...



But this is crazy!!



The people posting on this thread have been blinded, forgetting everything they have ever learned about snake care!



There are people on this forum who keep there boas and pythons as far as possible in their homes, at all times.. why? Disease that can kill off their entire collection!



It was stated that they aren't housed together - great. But Ginevive makes a good point. Even if it is stated that they aren't living together, there are still numbnuts out there who would think its okay to throw different species of snakes together in the same tank.



Now, im not saying yell and scream at her about it. But normally, with a picture like that, the people on this thread would pass on this above information in an informative, mature manner and hope she takes the advice in the future. It just seems that the men are acting like deer caught in headlights.



So now, I'm going to do it -



xxCyxx -

thats pretty cool that your boa and your python like eachother! It sounds like you have a pair of very personable snakes, and you understand them well. Just be aware that there are a few diseases out there that boas can carry, and you wouldn't even know that they have it, that are absolutly deadly to your python. One that's been mentioned is IBD - i think it would be wise to at least do a yahoo search for it, just so you can be aware of what it is, and what kind of symptoms to look for in your python.

Good luck with your pair - they are beautiful!

Oh shoot- it took me so long to type that in between baking my cookies, I kinda stirred things up again when everyone was happy. My bad. :oops:

Even if Lisa's only concern was for the well-being of the two snakes, she could have asked the owner if they knew about the dangers of IBD. The Boa could have been tested for all she knows, or the snakes could have had a history of consistant contact with no ill affects, but I think it is obvious that in addition to the photos of the two snakes together, the photos of a potentially attractive female owner threw her off the edge and made her assume that the girl must be an idiot if she is comfortable sharing photos of herself and herself wearing her pet as a "trophy."
:2cent:

I think things did get too abrasive.. that is not how our forum should be. :( At the same time, though, I am sure that no one means to come off as sassy or disrespectful in the beginning; it is tough sometimes to kep your composure when you have a point to get across that is important (I definately understand that!) But where name calling and accusations begin, that is when it just gets immature on every side of any topic.
Cy, you're a cute chick, and you definately belong here in the rankings of BP.Net hotties. :) Your snakes are gorgeous, and look healthy. But knowing what I have learned about IBD (inclusion body disease), It just makes me nervous to see boas alongside pythons.. here is the best article I could find on IBD (inclusion body disease).. http://www.anapsid.org/ibd.html

Beautiful girl, beautiful snakes. Especially love the head on the bracelets. :) I'm still learning here, so I can't really say much in the department of putting the two together, but they look neat and are very stunning. Great photo's too.

The snakes with the candy bracelets rules lol :rockon:

I absolutely love the first pic. The one with the head on the bracelets it cool too. Keep up with the photography.


What kind of a camera do you have? I think there all really great pics.
