Yes we are allowed to. If you are just a beginner, its not the right species to begin with in any case. You should have the species code book if you are licensed. It tells you what you can and cant keep!

How big do they usually get? Looks like he's having a hard time handling it, they must be pretty strong.

Tims at URS looks like that one. I dont think they are allowed to handle it on their own.

It was fairly placid , considering . I don't think at that size that they fear much at all . The power is just incrediable , i'm not small by all means but i couldn't get it off . I squeezed the end of its tail and that made it free up for a second . Pretty stupid think to do for a photo eh !

haha as long as someone else was there to help.
I used to have a carpet python (not huge or anything) but having that one around my neck walking aroud the house, it was a pretty strong grip!! I could only imagine what that scrubbie would feel like!!
