what kind if snake is this??

[JoshSloane]

This is a Burmese python like others have said. These are not good snakes for an inexperienced keeper. They get HUGE, they will eventually need large prey items, and if mishandled they can kill you. These snakes are also specifically restricted by the Lacey Act and that alone could be the reason that a breeder would sell at such a suspiciously low price.

Please slow down with this kind of sensationalist rhetoric. Being a reptile minded person you should know better. As stated by others, there are tens of thousands of injuries, and multiple fatalities every year due to dogs and other domesticated mammals. Over the last few decades there have only been a minutely small handful of injuries and deaths from large constrictors. These deaths were also the direct result of negligent and inappropriate care and handling, resulting in a starving, malnourished, and improperly kept animal. When kept in a suitable manner, large constrictors are far safer than your neighbors german shepherd.

Think twice before you blindly post disinformation.
