    Re: what kind if snake is this??

    Josh, using your own post please point out "disinformation." I did not say it would kill, I said it can and it certainly can. There are many responsible and veteran huge constrictor keepers but the irresponsible, negligent, and inexperienced owners of large constrictors are the exact reason for the bias toward those snakes. We as responsible reptile owners should always dissuade inexperienced owners from keeping them unless they are being mentored by an experienced keeper. The same logic applies to dogs, guns, teens and ultrafast cars, etc. A speed demon is not a good first car and I would not hand an inexperienced shooter a firearm that I didn't think they could handle. The op seems to be young and or inexperienced and certainly unprepared for a Burmese python. Being a dog owner and a reptile owner you should know better than to equate the two in terms of behavior. A dog can be reliably trained and socialized by a responsible owner. A snake can be kept properly and be somewhat conditioned to handling through proper husbandry but I personally would never believe that they can be trained in any meaningful way to where I would trust a 100lb snake with a child like I would trust a well trained and socialized 100lb dog.
