i dont think the point has gotten across yet... snakes of that size do not support themselves in the wild by the last few inches of their tail... expecially when hanging down that far...

i agree that they hang down to get their prey but they will have a coil or two around the branch to accomidate for that much weight...

he says that the snake did it himself and if thats the case then it must not have been hurting the snake...



but i personally would try not to hold my snakes that way...



you have a beautiful snake...
