So, my roommate Tommy came around to handling one of my ball pythons. It was my male juvy (this is the one I let kids handle at presentations). He wanted this one because it is not head shy and seems to be friendly. So I told him I would let him have it under some stipulations. 1. creat an account on bp.net (check), 2 study the three care sheets I gave him and I will quize him over them. and 3 learn to keep the bass off in his room (he loves to blast his stereo like its a concert or something).
he told me a he saved the care sheets and will look at them as needed. WOW. I asked I fed silver last night and he came in to get him out, I asked him how long you wait after a snake has eaten before handling. he was like duh 30 minutes to an hour. I told him to leave the snake alone and go back and study the care sheets and get active on BP.net
also another trigger was this, his girlfriend told one of her friends that was over that silver was a big snake. Silver is an 850gram 2 feet Ball python. She said yeah thats big enough, and that my 2200 4 foot female ball was too big. I said you know Silver is going to get bigger right? and get to around 3 to 4 feet. She was like that is too big.
I pulled the plug on this deal. I told him he does not have what it takes to own a snake.
He told me that the snake would have to get used to the bass. and then asked if there was anything that he could set the cage on to not transfer the vibration. I told him no and to shut up and look for another pet.
