Ok, as much as I love ball pythons, there are times when they suck...let's see if I can get 10.

1. Today I like mice...next week, I like rats...oh wait, you bought 50 frozen rats? Now I want a hamster...

2. I'm not hungry today...or next week, or the week after that. Listen...I'm not going to be hungry for the next 4-6 months so...just keep thawing them out and trying. Maybe I'll surprise you...well...ok, most likely not.

3. You bought 50 frozen rats? Too bad I only like live..sucka!

4. Am I ovulating? You won't know until your incubator is full...ohhhh surprise clutch!

5. I'm a male that probed like a female. Take that!

6. 6 eggs...6 male normals. Go ahead...tear out that hair.

7. Am I a yellowbelly?

8. 5 eggs, 4 slugs.

9. Last year I was worth $3000 MORE than I am this year...for I am a co-dom male.

10. Am I yawning because I want to or is it because I have a resritory infection. You'll never know without an expensive vet trip. Take that!

You have to prove me out.you have to keep me 6 years
You put me in a bigger cage so I won't eat.
I am 1000 gr So i won't eat the rest of the season females
All the ball python keepers say your nothing.Till you prove out.
Someone looks to buy me and says i am nothing special.But comes back later wanting to get me for no money.
The list goes on and on .
Very funny

Left out a couple of the ones that we all love.
Like:
Now that you have cleaned out my box I feel a huge dump coming on. Always just minutes after cleaning their box.

What's this? fresh water and a clean bowl. It's in my way so let me just knock it over.

Yes, I ate like a pig earlier this year, boinked like a hollywood prostitute for the last 4 months, but NO I'm not going to give you my eggs. Maybe next year, if your lucky!

Just a few of my favorites.

Like therapy for all of us.
And you wonder if the bad egg had a good one inside.......

You wake up check on them.One is dead no reason .You raised it from an egg to adult never a problem there it is dead.We all have some in the freezer.Now lets see top 10 reasons we keep them.
1 They are easy to breed when they want.
2 they don't take up much room
3 You can get lucky and get a morph import that proves out
4 There is a new morph every year
5 They make great trade animals
6 They ball up when you clean cage so you don't have to chase them
7 People still want to breed them to try and get money for another morph.
8 You always get a surprise when they hatch
9 You can always argue on the forum
10 You can see the new morphs and wish you had one
You gotta love it or you wouldn't do it

1.You’ve raised me since I was 75grams and I’ve never bit you. Today things will change.

2.Is that a bigger/heavier water bowl? Psh just wait till you wake up in the morning.

3.I haven’t pooped in a month but now that your GF is holding me this is as good a time as any.

4.I know I know I’ve been eating white rats for years but suddenly I want one that looks like a cow. The fun part is seeing how long it takes you to figure it out.

5.I'm a FEMALE, I’ll do what I want when I want. Got it!

6.Today I feel like pooping ALL OVER the place.

7.I know im 8 times bigger than my water bowl but i'm gonna try to hide under it any how.

What about: "Aghhhhhhh! Who are you? I'm going into a panic because you opened my cage. Help! Who is this? That's it, I'm wrapping around the water bowl, tipping it over, and then just trembling at the sight of my own shadow..." I don't know about you guys, but give me a retic or a carpet or a monitor anytime. At least their brains work, AND they feed. Truly, ball pythons are the morons of the snake world. Can you possibly name a dumber snake?

mpuexotics Jun 20, 2006 05:01 AM

Hey Stan
I thought you'd get a kick out of this.We have discussed it for years.Love the pick.How long did it take to swallow bambi.

She ate that deer so fast that I didn't get another pic! I was mowing one of my fields, stopped to give it to her and figured she'd poke at it for an hour and then eventually, if I was lucky, eat it. I did two laps of the field, and came in to see how she was doing. I couldn't believe it, she was done. She's a wicked snake!

About 14 years ago my first BP pooped on me while I was holding it... ON MY MOMS BED!!

I was watching TV and all of a sudden... Poopapalooza

Luckily my mom was the one who got it for me from a friend of hers that didn't want it anymore. So she mostly just laughed and told me to clean it up and flip the mattress.
