Help me identify my snake

[cletus]

I am with those that something doesn't add up, so I will skip over the circumstances of possession. What I will weigh in on is how you, Kevin, should proceed. This is not a snake for a beginner period. When it is fully grown it will capable of causing you serious bodily harm if not kill you. It will require at least two people to handle safely, do you have someone who can help you? Preferably someone with experience with giant snakes. Also you will need a reliable source of large prey items, have you located this? You will need an enclosure with 4'x8' of floor space that is likely built by a professional as they are very strong animals. Do you have the money to support all it's housing, feeding, as well as medical needs?

If you want my opinion you I think you should look at how to get a snake better suited to your experience level. I would first contact the breeder/seller and see if you can get your money back. If not try to rehome it to someone with more experience, possibly even trade for a smaller species. I think you would do well with a corn snake or ball python for your first snake, but there are many options.

Great post. I would get something smaller and get your feed wet and learn more about snakes before you tackle something that will get that big. This is a GREAT place to learn and seek help. The reptile community is already scarred with large constrictor horror stories where someone gets a snake that becomes so big they cant take care of it or become afraid of it and it gets neglected. Bad things can happen.

Is this what it feels like to be trolled?

Pretty little burm you have there... Did you get the information of the person who sold it to you? If so contact them and get them to take it back lol If not I'd seriously suggest you find someone with experience to take that animal off your hands.

There are many many many color phases of both corn snakes and ball pythons, both of which make amazing starter pets, if I were you I'd look into picking up one of those. If you don't know someone else who has experience with big snakes and is willing to work with you you're setting yourself (and the reptile community as a whole) up for failure.

Almost positive this was under site info when I first saw it. One of the mods might have moved it after it was identified.

Correct

I don't understand why you would buy a snake without even knowing anything about it? Different snakes have different husbandry requirements. A corn snake and a burmese python are not alike at all so I don't understand how they got confused.

I highly recommend returning the snake and doing HEAVY research on snakes to find out which one is right for you. It's never a good idea to just bring home a snake without any equipment. Do your research, buy supplies, and then once everything is ready you can bring home a snake.

I can't tell if we are all being trolled or if you are serious but either way I'm scratching my head.

When a 130 lb snake is hungry and you can't buy it food it will be a problem lol

Although this is a fantastic, well thought out plan, asking a girl out by telling her you need help holding your snake usually doesn't work.

ROFL. Man, that's not fair. Too tempting to turn into a tasteless joke. Post's like that are going to get me another infraction.
