Number one ... it takes hundreds if not thousands of years for a species to become domesticated ... ball pythons have only been kept in captivity in any signifigant numbers for the last 2 decades tops ... they are not even close to becoming a little "domesticated".Originally Posted by Sapphire7
Well normally when I hold my big boy I never see his hemipenes poing around. And if She saw them and felt them poking at her finger, BETWEEN her fingers, how do you know the snake wasnt "doing" anything. Just because it hasnt happened to you, doesnt mean it doesnt happen. I guess snakes are becomming more and more domesticated they show it off like that! lol
Number two ... I know because I am a student of ball python behavior, physiology, and reproduction ... I have an extremely large collection of ball pythons and have been working with them for the past quarter century ... There is not a moment of the day where I am not thinking about ball pythons ... it's my job ... When you see your ball python doing something and you think to yourself "self, I wonder who would know why he/she is doing that" ... I'm that guy.
