Some of you people absolutely slay me. Nothing is funnier that "watching" some boob attempt to teach using inaccurate, regurgitated facts.
What if I told you I could produce a study that examined the gastric contents of wild ball pythons?
What if I told you that this study determined that some ball pythons were found to have a predilection for birds? A wide, wide range of birds and wide, wide range of mammals. Would that get you to clam up and do your homework before getting into an argument you know nothing about?
Probably not.
Word to the wise - it's hard to school someone when you're attempting to talk around a mouthful of crap.
In addition to ball pythons, for years we herp keepers have been getting snakes to eat animals they wouldn't encounter in the wild. In many, many years of keeping snakes, both wild caught and captive bred, coming in heavily parasitized, stressed and being weaned onto non-native diets, I have never had a snake starve itself to death.
So yeah, to the person who has personally witnessed "dozens" of snakes starve themselves to death - bull spit. You heard me - bull spit.
