    I prefer "royal" pythons (or Python regius) but fear no one would know what I'm talking about, lol...& I hate to hear them called "beepers"! Just not dignified.

    Those who aren't into snakes sometimes think you said 'bald' python when you actually said 'ball'...

    I started to say "I like balls." but that just sounds wrong.

    I don't call them beepers, but I must say, mine doesn't really convince me that they're a dignified snake. Yesterday he was too "dignified" to actually strike his food properly so he booped it with a closed mouth, then sat back and waited until my hand got tired so I laid the food down for him and he could just lazily scooch his face along it. He also took some mid-eating breaks. He won that battle this week, but is it dignified? lol
