Submarine python

mariatorres1983 Aug 10, 2005 11:39 PM

I think she was just plain hyper tonight, and did not want to go back in her enclosure. When I got her back in, she went to her water, but instead of drinking, shoved her whole head in there and a few inches of her neck and started blowing bubbles all around. She hates water except to drink. She hates baths. She won't pull out a rat if she kills it and it falls in the water, and very rarely will she dip a part in if she is molting. And when she does, it is never her head.

Why is she motoring around blowing bubbles in there? She can't be that bored...she spent the evening on her favorite gym...
Cheers,
Maria

people with dumb ideas....

"isn't that cute"

anyways.she is pissed and trying to run from you and hide.......especially if you had her out on her "gym" for awhile...pythons think they are wild and free and when placed outside the cage they really get the idea they are free........so when you grabbed her and put her into the cage she got a hissy fit and ended up trying to crawl into the bowl....

tadaa........

I have a way of telling the truth in a fasion that you can understand and I also have a way of putting out more baby snakes and rodents than most people.....been breeding somehting or other for 30 years...

maybe you should laugh at different stuff

snakes DO hate people.balls especially.they cannot stand to be held or touched.....come to my home and you'll see..these balls act wild and think they aren't anyones pets..they do not get held at the computer....they don't go to the store........they do not climb trees in my yard...

they eat and breed

they "put enough fat" back on to breed a month after laying.......and I don't overfeed and make pinheads like you all do.

over feeding can kill the liver with stress and the immune system will be weakened and the heart will be overworked.....organs will be weak and not function correctly either......

I know of balls that died due to overfeeding....

trust me...if most of you guys snakes had to tie their own shoes you would hear them wheezing and panting like fat little donut eating hogs.......hell.and they don't even smoke....

havin' fun?

.................oh.and balls have a fast strike time..faster than cobras.......trust me......seen both in action....alot

I was not arguing with what you were saying and I have no doubt that you have experience with balls and did not mean any disrespect towards you at all.

Our golden was from a breeder that breeds special service dogs (why my parents got him there, and how we ended up with him I will never know!)... I think ours was from the special ed group instead.

jyohe Aug 11, 2005 04:02 PM

I feed once a week usually.....yes I will do 2 or even 3 within a wek or 9 day period..........but they are small meals......

like baby ball........3 hoppers in a week ......you could just go one nice mouse once a week..same weight of food.......less time to deal with them..

......

want an example of early death.......look at the actor that died today..........Mathew McGrory......over 7 foot tall and only 32..dead.........grew too big too fast we will miss you tiny.....so will Rob.......(Zombie)
