I dont keep burms but i was reading a book (The guide to owning burmese pythons)by john coborn. In it he claims that you should never look a tame python in the eyes or it will initiate a bite. I have never heard this. The only python i have kept is a ball. I have a dumerils boa and a bunch of colubrids also. ive never stared a snake down but im pretty sure ive made eye contact without consequence. who here has had experience with this?
