Ball Python Eating Puppies?

[MarkS]

you handle a 9ft snake alone???
that is just stupid!
i don't know that much about such large snakes, but that what i know about is you should never handle such a big one alone.
best, saying by experts for these snakes, is to have at least 1 person for every 4ft lenght by your side for handling to avoid any accident!

You really shouldn't be calling people stupid if you have no experience with them yourself. 9ft is not that large.

as all i have read about 9ft it's potetial deadly for adult humans!
also i don't have say he is stupid!
i have saing the handle is stupid!
may this is the false word for and i should had saying dangerous or inexpect.
just take a look at this http://www.anapsid.org/nyburm.html, it'only 4 ft longer.
be sure i never would like to have a 9ft snake wraped around me as long ther is no one ther who could help me!

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone else see the idiocy in people's thought process when they put something like "not for snake food!" in their CL ads? I mean, do they really not realize that the ad will now come up EVERY TIME someone searches for "snake" or "snake food"?!?!

Add: snakechow, PLEASE disregard anything you ever read on anapsid.org. The information is, shall we say, misinformed at best!

well this 9ft long snake was in my book an overgrown ball python I never had any issues with her of any type outside the cat(s) of my mothers . that and my cp making it a littler harder to get her out of the floor ( cage ) I had built.
then again I am know for going out and going oh hey a snake and pick up something like a copperhead without a second thought. I miss that boa .

All I've read is that trolls who don't know anything about a subject should not start flailing their false opinion around, calling people with actual experience stupid.

Are you sure you're not a PETA member? "Oh I KNOW that a 9 ft snake would wrap you up and kill you!" "People feed puppies to their ball pythons way more often than you think!" "I have seen pet stores feeding pets to the snakes!" (even though with all the hundreds of folks on here with a LOT of experience over many many decades say no... it's odd that YOU are the one who has all "personal" experience witnessing so many things that no one else EVER has... hmmm) Your "personal experience" seems to be gleaned from really lousy oft-proven-false websites and urban legends that grade-schoolers tell each other.

Where's the post from you about how my cornsnake will eat my baby? I'm just certain that'll be next. Or that all the alligator owners drive to NYC to release them into the sewers... or maybe that all the burm owners across the US drive down to the Everglades and all the burms there are released pets?

If you're going to show a lot of ignorance, the least you could do for us is put all your ignorant speeches into one post so they don't keep popping up randomly. It would make it so much easier on everyone if they could just refute all the BS at once and get it out of the way.

Lmao. Your source is Anapsid?! That is the worst place to get reptile info. It is highly inaccurate and gives dangerous advice.

You, a person who admits to not knowing about these animals, are telling the experienced keepers of these snakes what's wrong and isn't wrong just because you 'read' something on the internet? Because you know, the internet is always correct....
Or perhaps it was Animal Planet? ....Excuse me, I mean Human Mammal Planet.

LOL
Exactly what I was thinking

[snakechow]

the link was the very first that appeard by my quick search, sorry if that source is an odd!
but that about snakes over 9ft you shoudend handle alone can you read on nearly every carecheet about.
and also on sites were care personal of zoos and other people tha handle large snakes tell about.
may it wont be that big problem a 9ft snake is coiling around your body, but what if she coils around your neck?
just a thought about this!
don't know how i could proof that the things going on at our local petstore will happen for real, but i swear it's the truth.
if you mean with PETA People Eat Tasty Animals you will be right, should you mean these strange people with the suspect thinking and doings yo are wrong!
i 'm also willing to learn, so give me your knowledge if i' m wrong with something.
but what me makes wonder about is that nearly all here wont accept that there will be alot bad things that happen around reptiles.
i never was saying any of you will do any of this and i 'm absolutely sure most reptile owner are good persons that try their very best to do everything to avoid any bad!
but there will be enough others out there that wont do so.
and to believe every petstore or big professional breeder will do all alright and do not harm any law is some kind of ignorant.
when you run a business you will do nearly everything to make a good amount in most cases.
as i was saying before, just take a look at our own meat and how that will be produced in most cases.
and at petstores it will begin that they keep 20-30 lizzards like anoles or gekkos that should kept alone together in one tank.
so there will be many of them that will dying during permanent stress, but it will work cause if they buy a bigger amount of the they will be that cheap they don't have to care about nearly the half of them never will be sold.
same with breeding the more you breed the less you need to care about that some of them get ill and dying.
proper care and keeping will cost more than you will lost by dying of a various number of animals.
that's a fact!
business is to make money no less no more.
there will be only a very few the care about the animal have a higher stand than the money.
and these mostly will have problems to survive cause they have higher prices.
i clearly say not everyone is doing this that bad but the most for sure!
believe it or not, it's just sad if you don't see this.

Where are you from?
No offense, but I honestly could not understand more than half of the things you were trying to say. It was difficult to comprehend...




But about the zoo thing (which was the only part I was able to fully understand). A lot of people here and in our community are more knowledgeable than some zoo keepers and/or have more reptiles than most zoo collections. Just something to think about. I'm not saying everyone is an expert, but some of these keepers have been handling these reptiles for 10, 20, 30, 40+ years. Yes, large constrictors have the potential to be dangerous. But you're preaching about a subject you have very little knowledge on.
