African Rock Python

Anybody own an African Rock Python?

I just got one in a trade. He/she is approx 7 foot and so far has been pretty docile. I can pick him/her up and all I get is a little hissing, but after that, pretty good, not head shy at all.

Its a good thing he's in the U.S., because if he was in Africa he would probably end up as a pair of boots.

So are retics. But I've never been bitten by an african rock python or a retic.

Nice looking rock, how long have you had it?

I have read that, yes. But I have also read that captive bred are not as prone to being mean. I have only had this guy about a week; no striking, etc, just a bit of hissing when I pick him up.

Sweet pickup man. I wish I could get larger snakes but I don't have the space to accomodate anything larger than a full grown ball. =(

Very nice pickup. I had one years ago and never had a problem with her. Just treat it with the same respect you'd give any large constrictor and you'll be fine.

very nice rock. Heres a pic of my old girl I wish I never sold her
