Why Python Regius?

Really? Cleopatra!? Very cool. I definitely agree with the fact that tribes would worship them. Snakes have been worshipped as gods for centuries before western culture (dare I say Christianity) made them into an ominous monster or devil (I don't think this image is too prevalent in today's society though). And this makes perfect sense. I guess it also makes sense that Cleopatra wore a ball python because in her time the Egyptians were deists and would worship snakes and crocodiles among other animals. But very neat nonetheless. Thanks

I have to disagree a little bit, I feel that society still thinks of snakes to somehow be related to the devil and I can't stress enough how much I don't agree with people who think this. Now if you are looking for something creepy that may resemble something evil, I say spiders lol. They capture or kill their prey with venom and puree its insides and basically suck the life and soul out of it, now thats something that spawned from hell if you ask me lol

Interesting stuff... I also like to see some study that was done to see the effects of cobra venom on ball pythons, although I'm not sure I'd want to be the one who conducts such a test...
