    Leash for Ball Pythons?
    Alright, I stopped by a local pet store for a set of T5 bulbs for one of my aquariums. While there I noticed several leashes and harnesses hanging on the racks. I noticed they advertised a few for monitors and iguanas so it got me to wondering. I had to ask one of the sales clerks. I explained that I wanted a leash and harness for my ball pythons. They don't seem to get much excersize and are getting portly. After several minutes of digging through several combinations she decided they didn't have anything that would work for me. Sadly I left disappointed.

    I hope you're joking cause I'm guessing you won't find anything ever. It would be quite hard to design without being dangerous for the snake.

    If you want your snakes to get more exercise, take them out and interact with them!

    Hey that is a great idea. If you find one I want a leash for my balls as well :D That way I can walk my dog, cat, chinchilla AND my ball python all at once ;) OK I couldn't help myself.


    Oh, I almost forgot the most important one. I need a leash for my Tokay Gecko, but I am still looking for a muzzle for them as well. Wouldn't want one of my Tokay's to bite someone and then they would be put on the "dangerous breed"....oh wait do they have a dangerous breed list for geckos?

    OMG - could you imagine somebody walking their python down the street? That would be hilarious! :rofl:

    Methinks one would need arms/legs & shoulders in order to facilitate a harness... so yeah, it's not gonna work for a snake. But I'm sure you already knew that, LOL.

    man if I could get a Gentle Leader for my snake I'd be soo happy. Could finally get my snake to go where I want him to.

    I have fashioned a lead out of old nylon stockings some yarn. Works great.

    Hahahaha yeah, I feel ya. My snake is always pulling me around! Especially when there is someone else walking their snake around me. He gets really excited and wants to go make friends, sniff butts and such. I think my arm's gonna fall off if I don't stop his pulling on the leash!

    If your snake is like Naghini, you won't need a leash;).

    Only if I had a snake companion that could follow me around like that...

    Hmmm..... maybe a condom with a breathing hole and some string?

    [for those who don't have the right mind - this is obviously NOT to be tested]

    I sent this thread to MacGyver yesterday. Two hours later he sent me a blue print for the ball python leash. Apparently all you need is: dental floss, a spring, and a paper clip. They go on sale this Saterday at all major pet stores!

    It's completely a joke. I was just giving the clerk a hard time. I'll admit it was incredibly hard to keep a straight face the entire time and walk out acting disappointed.
