tame african rock pythons

imridethelghtng Nov 22, 2004 05:30 AM

i am going to attempt breeding african rock pythons to be docile i have 2 right now that have never taken a strike at me and can be handled even during shed problem free only time you have to watch them is when food is in the air then they chase anything the female still needs some growing up but im pretty excited to see what happens here is a pic of the male

I have a Burm cross bred with a Rock and quite frankly, he fascinates me more than any other snake I own. He seems more active and predatory than most snakes Ive experienced, and thats what I like about him. He seems extremely intelligent and I know to have a great deal of respect for him when I handle him. To date he has never bit me (though attempted once!). If he just sat there and was calm and never moved, I don't think I would be as intrigued.
