How do they take a bath?
After seeing that movie starring Lopez, anacondas will forever creep me out.
Creepy movie!
I've never had a reptile as a pet. I like them and think they're cute creatures, but they're quite difficult to care for. Most of them need a warm environment, and I hate bugs which is what makes up most reptile's diets. Of course with snakes you have to feed them small mice, which honestly that wouldn't bother me much. xD
The warm environment is easy, you can buy a heat rock and a heat lamp. However the live food can be a pain. I used to have to buy crickets for my lizards I had when I was a kid. The container I'd keep them in would STINK, they'd make noise and every once in a while some would escape and I'd have crickets running around my house.
I wonder. Fascinating....I just don't expect to see them off the ground.It had to do that or it would fall off.

They love climbing trees in the wild.
NopeHave you ever had a reptile for a pet?

Whole lotta good fertilizer going into that Florida swampland. Pets who outgrew their homes??
Largest python snake nest in Florida history discovered in Everglades
July 14, '23
A 13 foot and 9-inch female Burmese python and its nest of 111 eggs was removed from the Everglades and Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area on July 7 by a contractor with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Python Action Team.
Are Burmese pythons native to Florida?
While the Sunshine State is known for its rich diversity of snakes and reptiles, the Burmese python is not one of the 44 native snake species found in the area, according to the FWC.
They are native to India, lower China, the Malay Peninsula and some islands of the East Indies.

It's fun to watch them eat the mice sometimes. We have an exotic king snake that has a huge voracious appetite and very rarely turns down eating.
A lot of none venomous snakes will draw back like that even while rattling their tails. Most snakes you buy at a pet store are used to humans and often don't do that.
lol can you believe that certain species of vipers are luxurious pets for rich people?
I've never seen anything like that! I'm not really fond of snakes, especially vipers, but that thing is certainly beautiful & strange. I can sure see the attraction & obsession that some might have.
This is true. Kim and Chloe have ruined several athletes' careers that they had relations with.
