Help! I found a ball python in the wild

[dr del]

Huh?

Congrats on the tank find and everything, glad to see the snake is doing well. I give u kudos. I wont let my ball anywhere near my neck. It just takes a trip and your adrenaline to rush before he/she squeezes and a snake the size you have there would easily take 3 grown men to get him off.. IF they were able to.

Umm no. No it wouldn't.

It would take one average person to reach out and gently unwrap him.

This isn't a burmulated annaconda we're discussing here - it's a ball python.

plexie noce but i bows a lot easier.. I got a snake cage I build tha the snakes can just about push the plexie and pop it out ifit was nnot for the fact I made theit areally tight fit.. the fram actually twisting cause i got o push on it to move it and now the cage is no longer square.. but it ok it only got ot last about 2 -3 years then it scrap. whe nthe old pair die off from old age.. this a cor nand ablack rat by the way and beennig my care since about 95 and both were already adult sized in length and thickness. so I guesing about 20 + years in age.

I love that you posted how he is doing. He is so beautiful and looks very content. I think I even saw a little snakey smile! You should be so happy with yourself that you saved this very handsome man.




As for the person stating about the neck... are you flippin kidding me! I mean really...are you on the

My BP's wrap around my 9 year olds neck and there is no problems and they will never be so strong that my son cannot take him off. And that is 9...not even an adult. Sorry to be so passionate about that...but it is statements like these that just add fuel to the fire.

Awwwwwww, what a sweetie! It's great to see him bonding so well to you! And his new tank is GORGEOUS! Wow, you got an awesome deal!

And as for anyone scared about a snake wrapping around their neck too hard, here's a tip on how to easily remove a python: start from the tail and unwrap. Easy as pie.

Dear god I hope you're joking!!!!

Not joking, they are a lot stronger then you realize. Even at a young age.

If your adrenaline starts rushing they sense it and think your prey. Then theyd do the same to you as they do to a mouse. everytime u exhale itll squeeze harder. Once that happens one average size person cant gently unwrap its grip from your neck. (This coming from a breeder herself)

This is a really good story! Hope you and your BP work out. As for the person that said it would take "three grown men to unwrap" a BP from someones neck MY 9 yrs old daughter has a male BP thats about 36" long and she has no problem at all removing the sanke from her neck, arm, or hand! Just my 2cents

Where are you getting this information....the only reason I ask....(Im not trying to be mean at all) is because it simply is false. I just wondered if you have read this somewhere as I would really like to review it. Trust me when I say this as I am not only a paranoid mommy with my human child...but the animals too. I would never of agreed for my son to have a BP had that been true. It is also the reason that I will not allow him to have a Burmese or a Boa. Just me....

Eventide is sooo right...the only thing you do is grab them by the tail and unwrap. For that matter...they probably would not like it but you could grab it by the head and unwrap. While BP's are very strong...they are very strong for their size. Their size being the key.

I just don't want for you to be worried about something that is really not possible.
