Well you didnt say that in your original post. What most people will see is something that is dangerous.
Regardless, looks like he is trying to make a break for it.

Re: who said only dogs liked to do this?
How funny.
It's cute, but I would never ever do that with my BP. Glad you have the confidence to do so.

Same here. I'd be too afraid one little gust of wind and he'd be gone.

I think the general consensus would say that you want to be as less stressful to the snake as possible. I.E. keeping him in a snake bag or a deli cup for the ride home. It's general to leave a new snake be and get acclimated for about a week after a normal move. So you can see why a few of us old timers would look down at you driving (whatever speed) with you snake heading out the window. Good looking snake give him a few weeks to get over any stress he has and he should be fine.

Re: who said only dogs liked to do this?
I agree. I'm not an old timer yet though ^-^ I actually got quite a ways to go I guess. I can't even drink yet! Haha

Re: who said only dogs liked to do this?
You show your age when you you do stupid, immature things like that! It doesn't look like only 5 mph! The background is blurred! Regardless, its too stressful to a snake!

umm...are you serious? If you are, take it easy. You don't need to rip him apart just because background is blurred, its really easy to take a picture with background blurred.

The only part that looks blurred to me, is at the left side of the picture. To me, it looks like another car was passing by.

Re: who said only dogs liked to do this?
I think it's a pretty cute pic, and only going 5 mph isn't even bad.
Good luck with your snake :]
-
Re: who said only dogs liked to do this?
I think it's a great pic... Don't worry about the criticism, it's nomal. I was criticised for taking a pic of one of mine on a Ouija board. I was told my snake could get possessed and that makes me a bad owner...:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Wow
And as for all of us (you said you guys?) I only meant that you didn't give any details on the picture so I understand how it can be easy for someone to misunderstand it.

Re: who said only dogs liked to do this?
For crying out loud! Leave the guy alone it's his BP & if he wants to he could do whatever he wants to do with it...I hate people here on BP.net that think they're superior then someone else & think that they have more knowledge then others...
-
Re: who said only dogs liked to do this?
lol, Vypyrz--you definitely need to take more ouija board pics, then--if they tell you that your snake will be possessed again, just tell them that's the entire point! Mwa hahaha...
Cute pic, though, I was a surprised by the reactions--I figured it was staged, and a firm grip was had on the back end of the snake--no harm done.
-
Re: who said only dogs liked to do this?
I just don't see the point or the need to stress out the snake! Its just showing off at the snakes expense!

I like how when 2 people make negative comments of something, that represents all of the 'people' on b-p.net ... or that 'you guys' is referring to everyone. Those two people don't represent all of us, don't make it out like that's the truth when it's not.
I didn't think it was a big deal. Stressful yes, and a risk I wouldn't take, but that's up to you, and it's a cute picture nonetheless.

Re: who said only dogs liked to do this?
x3 ouija board link wanted
Is it wrong that I want a possessed snake? lol
I'm pretty sure my dad's milk snake is possessed...that thing is pure evil :twisted:
But to be OT: If you were really just on your way home from a show, I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like you jingle your keys outside their tubs and make them get in the car with you all the time....lol...though that IS a hilarious visual.

Ok! Here is the snake that may now be possessed. I have noticed that when the rats are in his tub I can hear him saying," teg tar, teg tar, redrum." And seeing him levitate his tub is pretty cool... :rofl:

I still think I did a good job with it. I need to make a light tent though...

Haha, cute pic. Thats awesome.

Re: who said only dogs liked to do this?
Kind of makes me wonder how many people have pics of their snakes that they won't post because of the lashing they will recieve, whether the pics were staged, innocent, or not or just plain misinterpreted?...

Re: who said only dogs liked to do this?
What on earth is wrong with the ouija board picture? There's nothing about to harm the snake, unlike hanging out of a moving car. I can't imagine what negative things could have been said about the ouija board. Duh!

You're right! Its stress free and harmless to the snake! I can laugh at that! If I dangled my kid out the window like that, everyone would be screaming at me and saying what a bad father I was but with a snake its okay! I guess snakes have no feelings! Thats the only way I can justify the logic!

Re: who said only dogs liked to do this?
You have every right to post whatever pictures you want, and expect whatever comments you want to expect, however it is a public forum and you're opening yourself up to both compliments and criticism.
I'm not going to bash you or say you're a horrible reptile owner, is is after all your choice and as you said, I'm sure the snake is going to be just fine. However, anyone who reads anything around here knows the battles the reptile nation has been fighting to maintain our ability to keep these animals and the amount of damage that one bit of negative press can do to hurt the cause. No, you probably didn't hurt your snake, and nothing bad came of it. Thats good. But was it a risk to some degree? Of course it was. It wasn't as safe as having it securely contained and therefore it was a risk, however marginal the difference may be.
It is a funny picture, no question. But the people here have reasons for being the way they are, and they are not without merit. After all, it is never the snakes that cause these issues, it is the actions or irresponsibility of the keepers.

Well said! Don't display pics publicly if you don't want to hear what the public has to say!

Wow this is still going ? All this over a pic i think we can find a few other things to talk about :)

Re: who said only dogs liked to do this?
Let alone your lackadaisical attitude to proper care and husbandry, the first thing that upsets me here is the obvious lack of attention being paid to operating the vehicle (assuming your driving). I see accidents all the time from people doing moronic things like this while driving. Be glad you didnt cause an accident, and 5 m.p.h. is more than sufficient to kill someone with a car.

That's what I figured too... I also think it's a very cute picture, and a cute snake. :) I've taken many pictures with my snakes that could look bad, when really they were in NO danger whatsoever - like when I posted one of my kitten sniffing the snake, and somebody lectured me on the danger of letting them near each other. I've had cats, dogs, rodents & reptiles for most of my life, and haven't ever lost one to another... so I know how to manage multiple species, and was literally inches away to intervene if necessary. :rolleyes: Anyway, I think yours was an adorable shot!

One hand on the snake and one hand on the cell phone to snap the shot! How can you have control of the vehicle? GOOD POINT!

I've got a few... thought about posting them, and then changed my mind after realizing it could be mis-interpreted or criticized. Like that kitten picture I just mentioned, which I KNEW would get a negative comment or two - but I didn't care on that one, because it was so darned cute. :P
I'm new to snakes, but not to internet forums - in fact, I'm a moderator on one of the biggest. So I know what to expect, and have developed a thick skin over the years... LOL. ;)

Meh... I drive a stick-shift, and have taken many cell pics while driving, sometimes at high (70+) speeds. Sounds worse than it is, when in reality it's no more "distracting" or dangerous than changing the radio station - or lighting a cigarette, grabbing a french fry, etc. My cell has a one-touch camera button, which I know by feel & don't even have to take my eyes off the road. Just sayin'... ;)

Re: who said only dogs liked to do this?
Very cool picture, very cool snake. I say it is your snake, do what ya want, wear it for a jockstrap if you want.
