Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hello, I was wondering how many of you fine people who have large(18'-100lbs) pythons and boas(retics, burmese, rocks and green anacondas) that were pregnant and stolen from you. Thanks. Andrew

thats a bit of an odd question. We had someone kick our door in once. They took a corn snake, got bit the $h1t out of by an Iguana- that was running through the house, and attempted to take a 12 ft. python- he was pretty fistey too. I don't know if he got bit or if the blood was from the IG bite. The cage door is on hinges that won't let the door hang open- it doesn't close and latch- it was open a bit.
We had to call a special group to come clean up the blood- since I wasn't touching it. We had to have the IG tested for different things- rabies and such... *rolls eyes*.
never caught the guy- that was years ago before we started the rescue.... and before we got guard dogs.
Someone did try and break into the house we're in now- got 3 100 lbs dogs all over him, then the police... hehehe. (there was also a shotgun involved).
my dogs have saved my life more than once. I have a lot of faith in them- I also have a lot of faith in locking every cage we have- we don't keep keys in the house except on our key ring.

If you've been broken into- you might think about getting locks for your cages. Don't know what people are doing anymore.... I think cases like this call for a little chlorine in the gene pool...

In this day and age, its becoming more and more common, Sad but true, Luckly we have never had anything like that happen, We also keep our dogs in our house while we are gone, and they don't care for unexpected company..lol

Most of the time she is pretty lazy...lol
