Groovy. My brother in law used to have one like that, but I don't think it was as big as yours.

awesome reptile you have there! I once owned a 12 foot long burmese python. I will try to dig up some pics, it's been a while. I had to give him to a friend 'cause I was getting evicted for having him in my apartment. :D

Yeah, we have all the gargantuan spiders and lethal snakes you could possibly want! Plus a variety of sharks and some ridiculously venomous shellfish... :D

Hey, CW14: What type of spider is Boris?

Nice snake dude. My buddy had a few snakes back when we were in college. It was always interesting to watch them eat. Especially if we were a little screwy in the head at the time.

I'd read or something some time ago that you're supposed to feed them dead animals since a living one in a contained environment with a predator would provoke the prey to fight back and risk injuries to your pet. I'd also heard that dunking them in stuff like chicken broth makes it better tasting for the snakes as well. I've never owned a snake so don't hold me to any of this.

The snake looks bad ass too, by the way.

On a side note, I used to have a chameleon, but he died a few years ago. I've probably got some pictures of him somewhere, but I doubt they'll surface before this thread dies.

thanks for the replys guys.

cryptic, you are right. AWYALY feed pre killed or frozen/thawed rats. He eats Jumbo rats (the biggest you can get) every 12-14 days. thouse things are huge, and would put up a hell of a fight. but, i have never heard of the chicken broth thing..

Zero, your mom will give in eventually.. lol trust me :D

those are some sweet pets guys.. I could never get a spider or a snake. I'm fricken terrified of spiders for some reason, and the bigger they are, the more I can't stand even looking at them. I don't have a problem with snakes as much, but I can't imagine owning one.

I've got a dog, who just turned one year old on friday.

thanks guys :)

well, you keep them at a 82 degree F temp on the hot side of the cage, a 78 degree F temp on the other side. fresh water, a hide box, and a rat ever week and a half to two weeks. they are pretty low mantiance.

I also own 2 iguanas.. they on the other hand are hard to care for.
