Hey everybody,
So what do you all think about Pine or Bullsnakes? I recently purchased a juvenile Bullsnake and I must say it has a real attitude problem.He is a great feeder and tolerates being handled but also likes to hiss rather loudly and will strike on occasion although it appears to be with his mouth shut at the time as I have not been bitten or anything. I find this to be a very interesting snake. I have heard that they can get up to seven or so feet long and four or five pounds..... sounds like they can be a real handfull....I was just wondering what all of you out there know about this genus of snakes...Pits or Pituophis species....I rather like referring to them as pits because of the meanness that they seem to share with Pit bull dogs...ha ha ha....I was watching my Bullsnake hiss at me and he looked horribly mad the way he was flexing and contorting his jaws...he looked rather like this photo I have of an inland taipan - mean and ugly.Well, if any of you have any advice on husbandry of these guys let me know...
