wow alot has happened since i went to bed. easy guys not need to fight. lol, and as for the guy they post several pages back on how i transport my snakes... i have cages set aside for just this task and it works fine i would never put my snakes in harms way i love each and every one of them. as for snakes killing people, i know it can happen and yes a large ball python can choke you but like i tell people that ask me about them strangling me, you would have to let it choke you for it to do so. so if a bp kills you i call it suicide lol. and as for sleeping with a snake, why. to much can happen you can roll on them, they can get way, they are not like dogs they wont like come and curl up next to you and stay there all night.
