The wildest Ball Python story EVER!!!

I'm just going to ignore him. He hasn't cared about what anyone else had to say and he sure as heck probably won't listen to me.

It doesn't do any good to beat 'em up for that. And it doesn't do any good to keep beating your own head against a wall trying to get them to see things any differently. Doing so only prolongs the agony. :rolleyes:

Judy,i do not think anyone else could have put this any better then you just did.Its really sad that the snakes are the ones who will suffer :( .

I just wanted to ask how hard is it to spell the full word LITTLE ?

Now its not nice to point out someones mistakes.It does not reflect to well on our site as a whole.Some people misspell some words or are unable to say some words,we should just let it pass.

Wow man, I've never seen such hostility in my life!


Here's a little fact that you don't know... I was going to remove them immediately until a friend of mine, who has over 30 years of breeding experience, said to me to leave them together! So, as full of yourselves as you are, you all don't know EVERYTHING. Opinions vary... snakes vary. Just because one boa ate another, does not mean it's going to happen here. It doesn't mean that it won't either, but her instinct or decision was to go into that other cage. So, I let her get what she wanted for a few days. Tonight when I got home, they were at opposite ends of the cage. They will be separated tonight since it looks like nothing is happening.

I must say that so many of you seem very closed minded and a bit arrogant with your posts. I haven't attacked anyone here. I've been the only one being bashed because I have a different opinion. For some reason, you think you know everything and you assume I know nothing. It's kind of reminiscent of religious fanaticism. As Socrates said, "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing".

Try to keep an open mind...

PS- One more thing I forgot to mention... she chose to go into the White Lip python's cage... funny how I have a pair if sugargliders right next to her cage and she didn't go there either time. She couldn't ever get to them due to the the wire mesh, but she chose to go into another snake cage than go after the scent of the gliders... this shows me some major amounts of determination.

I posted this earlier, very interesting

I walked by my reptile room, and noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I went over, and found one of my large female ball python the floor! She escaped from her vision cage! The door was slightly open, so I figured I must've left it open just a lil bit... enough for her to squeeze out. I also noticed another cage on the other side of the room was open a lil bit. This cage is where I keep my White Lip python. He was still in there, but I was concerned because I never leave cages open.

I put her back in the cage, closed both cages and left the room. I went back a few hours later, and again, the vision was open and she was gone! I freaked out because nobody else went into the room! I searched for hours for her all over the place. She was nowhere to be found. I then noticed that the white lip python cage was open... again!!!! :eek: I looked in the cage, and the white lip was still in there chilling out. But guess who was in there as well.... yup! The female was in his lil hide spot under the heater while he was on the other side of the cage! Can you believe this? I've (rarely) had snakes escape before (never from a vision though), but I've NEVER had one leave a cage and open up another one to go inside!!! Both cages have heavy sliding glass doors.

So, now she's in with the white lip and they are just hanging out together. I figure, hey, if she wants in that bad, why not just leave her there?

I have no idea why she did this, unless she retained sperm from this past breeding season and is cycling herself to lay eggs again!

Has anyone had anything close to this happen to them??? :confused:

i just wanted to point out... he never asked us for our opinion, nor did he ask for advice. he simply asked if anyone else ever experienced this.

and... thanks for being so level headed with your responses dan. :rockon:

now, i'm not saying i agree with you dan... but people are dissing you for not taking their advice... and i just want to point out you never asked for any.

the breeder friend of mine will be posting in a day or so... I just sent him this link to read.

Oh, and RG, that's fine if you don't agree with me... everyone is entitled to their opinion. And you are correct, I wasn't asking for any advice... I was just sharing a very unusual story... :)

I put her back in her cage, and guess where she went... up against the glass trying to get out. Now she's just resting her head on the front ledge gazing out at the White Lip cage, wishing... hoping.... but alas, there is a lock on it now...

I took some pics, but you need to publish them and then link them... I don't have a place to publish right now... I can send them to someone to publish if they want... e-mail me if u wanna do this...
