He'll have a fun time trying to get that water python off his arm :lol: :lol: I didn't see the end of the video so I don't know. All I know is if my boy ddi that to me it'd take me some time to get him off :lol:
I think theres a big differance between a snappy one and one that trys to eat you.
I heard and agree that it's good to have at least one python that is bittey or snappy in a collection. Especially if it's one of the larger species such as a coastal, olive or scrubby.
Yes, TOTALLY AGREE. The same as all drivers should CRASH at least 1 car just so they know what it's like. All pilots should crash a plane for the same reason, swimming instructors should almost drown, fire fighters should be trapped in a fire, yeah the list would be long and interesting.
Can you give me some even close to reasonable reasons as to why it would be good to have at least 1 aggressive snake in a collection.
Although it could be a good marketing exercise for those keepers who ONLY keep say diamonds, well they should buy a scrubbie, jungle or olive just for the experience of being bitten................
Maybe everyone should be required to also keep say a tiger snake or maybe a death adder or 2.......................................
love having a few bitters in my collections...makes any interaction intense ( feeding,taking them out or even changing water lol ) coz if you stuff up bang hes got ya! haha
like snake pimp said "i like to observe natural behavior"
placid ones,bitey flighty ones..love them all !
all they are doin are displaying natural behavior !!!
if your not down for a bite here or there maybe keeping stamps in more for u jokes joke but remeber paper cuts lol LOL
Enjoy

snake will only bite if it mistakes you for food or when threatened.BAHAHAHA Man you haven't met my snakes oviously, they go anyone and any thing that goes anywhere near there enclosure and this isn't a food response, I have a 9.5 foot female cape york and I've exsperianced strangelation with her very scary and this was after taking her to the vet. I can say I have been bitten about 6 times with her through out owning her in the last 5.5years both food related and clear agression and stupid mistakes. But they DON'T only bite if mistaken for food or when threatened they can just snap even when NOT prevoked.I think it does make you more aware and more respect towards an agressive individual if you've exsperianced such force and been bitten that many times that you can tell what is clearly a warning strike and what is an agressive strike and it will make you more ware of when the snake is in a good mood and when to just keep your distance.
makes it a hell of alot easier when you need to take them to the vet too, also if you feel your not conferdent in hand feeding a snake then use tongs.
I agree with blondie but if you intend to breed than a python that is agressive to handle out side of a cage is not a trait to pass on to the offspring and than sell to a little kid. DID U C MY UTUBE CLIP BLONDIE i didnt see your comments there.
i think its up to the individual keeper as to wether its good or not if u r in it to breed and dont handle them much then u come to expect a taging or 2 but on the other hand if u keep snakes for the enjoyment of getting them out and handling something that u associate with danger ( normally) then u would rather more placid snakes.......i have 2 bredlis 2 months old and r snappy i have been bitten alot it doesnt hurt but it makes u respect them more. they r calming down alot now tho...
I don't know about having a bitey one being good for keeping - surely if you're a good enough keeper you wouldn't get bitten anyway? Personally, comparing my coastals to my stimsons, I prefer one that's a little more "bitey". At least I know it'll eat!
