Pythons

no such thing as a Poisonous snake. Venomous is the proper term. The World's Most Venomous Snake on landis the Fierce Snake AKA Inland Taipan. The World's Most Venomous Sea Snake is the Belcher's Sea Snake

They can be but not always some times they can be located in Australia

yes it it true

A Python is a constrictor, it has a natural instinct to kill by constricting it's prey. As the snake gets larger, it will naturally go after larger prey, which could indeed be you. A petsnake may tolerate you, but it will never love you like a dog or cat would. Given the chance, a pet Python could squeeze the life out of you, or anything else it sees as "food".

The python problem in Florida is not nearly as bad as the media would have us believe. These snake are incapable of tolerating cold climates and it is VERY unlikely that they will be able to spread anywhere north of Florida. An experimented was conducted on this very subject in North Carolina where 10 snakes where kept in a secure outdoor enclosure for a year. After the winter 9 of them where dead and last I heard the 10th one died shortly after due to medical problems caused by exposure to the cold. Even in Florida, after last years unusually cold winter many of the wild pythons have been turning up dead and the number of live ones being found has decreased drastically. Will they ever be completely gone from Florida? Probably not, but they will not spread elsewhere.

I would also like to point out that the original reason for these snakes appearance in the wild is NOT due to irresponsible owners releasing them into the wild, however that certainly does not help the situation, but it is believed that past hurricanes that destroyed road side zoos and a very large breeding facility are responsible for the wild Burmese pythons in Florida.

Be aware of reports published by the USGS as they have been proven time and time again to be wrong yet they will not admit it and recall their 'research'.

If you get a chance visit USARK.org for more information on how such media hype is destroying the reptile industry. Also watch the Python Hunters on National Geographic Wild.

It turns greenish purple.

Since boa constrictor is a specific specie of snake, it shares the same spelling as in English: le boa constrictor

Sorry but it has a serious python type cancer and will die within a month

Define 'cold' - if it has a 'runny nose' it's likely to be a respiratory infection - which should be treated by a vet !

If you are in FL, just call animal control. Or you can be proactive and carry a big corn knife.

Of course! Snakes have a much greater sense of smell than humans, in fact. Snakes do not have protruding noses(or ears, for that matter). They have two nostrils just above the mouth. Snakes also "taste" the air with their tongue. This could, possibly, be classified as another form of "smelling" by some people.

no python or boa is venomous they are constrictors

This is very common for a Ball python. Here is a web link that will help you understand what your Ball Python needs: http://www.reptilia.org/care_sheets/snakes/csheets_snk_tips.htm

When they get hungry.

No, it won't even try, but they will compete for space (no matter how big your cage is) and possibly transmit diseases to one another. They shouldn't be kept together for these reasons.

I've seen spotteds in communal cages (with corns, actually) that were perfectly healthy. As long as both are regularly checked by a vet (and are not carriers of diseases they [respectively] are immune to) and are kept in sterile conditions, it should be okay. Make sure that one does not outdo the other in size and that your cage is large enough so that competition is minimized.

It depends on the age, size scars (if any), Most babies sell for $75. As they get older and the color comes out you can ask more money.

Yes, they do. It mainly consists of just the skull and spine. Occasionally, there is a pelvic bone or rib-like bones but not always.

Most reptiles travel by walking on their legs. Some species are also adept swimmers. Snakes, which lack legs, usually move by sending sideways "waves" down their bodies, pushing back against the ground.

buy a pistol cleaning kit that matches the correct cal.

should be around 2ft in lenght

No, absolutely not. Just throw them away and try feeding again in a week or two.

Keeping a diary of your snakes feeding schedule would be an ideal way of telling roughly when he is ready to eat again. This cuts down the amount of wasted 'food'. If you thaw, re-freeze and re-thaw food items you run the risk of bacteria buildup in addition to the food item partly decomposing.

Yes, but a licence is required to keep one as a pet.

the ball python's temperament unless it's shedding or it hasn't eaten for more than two months.

Well, the Ball Python was orignally named the "Royal Python". It acquired it's name sake "Ball" because when it was threatened, it curled up into a ball and behaved in a very docile manner; This is the reason these snakes are so popular here and in other countries. There is no other "Python" that is so easy to engage, train, and love. Can you kiss a python on the lips? I can :-) and so what, I am immune to sowmanilla now.

Ball Pythons are very sweet and everyone should get to know one. If you are afraid, get the "F" over it. Life is too short.

Snake lover I am.
