What have i gotten myself into

[blackcrystal22]

Wow I thought the point of this forum was to ask questions and receive help when needed. But just so you know the local reptile store owner is going to work with me on handling this giant snake. I'm disgusted with the way some of you have responded. Instead of talking crap and telling me I'm going to die. Why don't your try giving me advice on handling the situation. It's all good though. I'll keep you updated on how my snake is not killing me

Why?
Because people have been killed because of ignorance and it gives the guys who want to ban our animals more leverage to actually ban them.
How much research did you really do? Why did you get an 8ft and not a baby?

Do you live alone?
I've been keeping for 4-5 years. I won't consider a Burmese python until I have the reliable space, experience, and knowledge (as well as another knowledgeable person always within reach).

You should never handle that snake by yourself. That IS going to get you killed if it's aggressive.
We're not trying to bash you down. Were just telling you the harsh truth. Your risking our entire hobby through ignorance as well as your life. That is something that should not be messed with.

The point of this forum is for knowledge. Yes it's for questions, but when we see something that could change our entire hobby as we know it, we're GOING to defend it.
