Snakelady96, I've seen and questioned some of your comments on here before, basically to do with your level of experience. I've also asked if the "96" is the year of your birth, which seems likely, and you sort of disappeared for a while. Those with verifiable experience with this species will all agree that being casual around a "relaxed" large scrubby is a dangerous thing indeed. Certainly, like most animal species, there is a variation in temperament, but Scrub Pythons have a reputation which is well deserved.
I've been keeping snakes of many species, including scrubs, professionally and privately for decades, and I'll tell you now that if I put my hand up to the face of one of my scrubs now, I would lose a lot of blood. Your suggestion would be laughable if it wasn't potentially harmful.
Joemal, I know what you mean about the overhead scrubby thing! I once had a couple of scrubs sent to me by Eric Worrell when I was living in Perth... not familiar with them, put them in a large outdoor enclosure (summer) and with a few high perches. Changing water one day and BANG - a full bite across the back of my neck! I guess the offender would have been maybe 3.5m, but is ure scared the crap out of me and I lost a lot of blood! My neck was a deep purple, then green, then yellow for weeks
! Never again did I take their "quiet' status for granted.
