Anyone else here have a snake?

SVRDhand13

I got my first snake in October of last year and plan on getting more in the future (possible even order one by the end of the summer).

I have a Sunglow Motley corn snake and will stick with corns for a little while before moving on up to the big boys and getting a Ball Python.

Anyone else here have any snakes?

EDIT: Heres some pics of mine- http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e172/SVRDhand13/

Feel free to post some of your own and I'll put them up here at the top.

And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE no trouser snakes!!!!!!!!

I have one but I have friends that do. My buddy who host a little poker tournament for his small circle of friends has three pythons that are 10 feet long. :eek: One time, i asked him how many rats does the snake eat? He says a lot of giant rats or sometimes he'd just feed them a rabbit.

i could never see myself feeding bunnies to a giant snake, bunnies are too cute. :(

just don't dump the snakes in any local water bodies when you're tired of them.

I hate hate hate hate snakes!
I fucking hate them with a passion. Last year I had a big black snake in my front yard. About 6ft long and as round as a beer can I blew its head right off with my shotgun.
Bitch at me all you want I dont give a shit, I hate them. I love animals but not those nasty fuckers.
My father in law said it was a harmless types of snake but I don't care.
Nasty creatures

Wow thanks for posting how you killed a harmless creature in a thread that is meant for people who own them. Sometimes people don't know when to keep quiet.

If I saw yours I probably would snap it like a whip and pop its head right off.
lol

Brisk.

why do you hate them though? Did one actually do anything to you?

Thats great. If I'd say what I'd do to you in return I'd probably get banned from this forum.

Those are beautiful. And easy to take care of. And not really expensive. I'd suggest you go for it .

I have to admit snakes leave me cold...

Can you interact with them much? Do they have any personality?

Awwww, now I feel bad b/c I hurt your feelings.
Sorry guy. I just really dislike them. I really do not like any reptiles but snakes for me are the worst.
Have fun with yours.

If they are hungry and you go to feed it, won't it bite you? I have heard many stories about them doing this to their owners.

Surprisingly, yes to both questions.

Taking them out is fun because you just let them "slither" all over the place and it looks/ feels really cool.

And I feel mine does have a personality. I've learned to know when he is happy or mad by the way he moves and he knows who I am. When I go to pass him off he wraps around my hand yet when someone is giving him back to me he quickly slides on my arm.

The best part of having a snake is picking one that looks beautiful to you. I feel like some of them are ugly while others look like a work of art.

This is where I got mine:http://www.cornsnake.net/. For those intersested you can see how many different styles there are. I'll post pics of mine soon.

Oh I think they're beautiful... they just don't look like you could pet them or interact with them in the same way as a dog or cat.

However, I've never really had any contact with them....which is why I asked

No they are not as interactive as cats or dogs but IMO they are good because they also are a lot easier to take care of. But when you have visitors they are much more entertaining to take out.

How can you possibly know when its mad or happy? How can you know that?

As you know I'm a massive reptiles fan... although I like snakes, lizards are my favourite. I'm looking forward to showing you they can be as cute and interactive as a dog or a cat.
