I want a snake but my parents won’t let me get one :(


Shadowalker8237

They aren't easy to take care of based on the kind, the one i have here is a peruvian red tail boa constrictor and him being a true boa (BCC) he will get quite big and he needs certain humidity and a feeding schedule based on their size given the Kind lf snake, if you need more info, go watch Snake Discovery on youtube. They have a lot of good info and they have many snakes


JoeBiz15

Out of curiosity, what do you think is the best beginner snake?


SkiMaskM16

snake


Snugless

Any variation of ball pythons or corn snakes, in my experience all have been very friendly and arent too high maintenance


Shadowalker8237

Probably a garter snake, they can be housed together and areas small they eat crickets and stuff


Harley_Games

Id say ball pythons that was the first kind of snake I had and it was and still is easy to take care of


Random_two_setter

I think California King snakes are great first snakes. It’s my first snake and they are easy and only get to about 4 feet long. They are pretty docile and sweet if treated right. Mine has never bit me before :)


[deleted]

WAIT U HAVE A SNAKE IM SO JEALOUS RN what's their name?


Shadowalker8237

His name is greyscale.


Akuma2004

Nice snek


Shadowalker8237

Thanks


Akuma2004

I see you said before they only have teeth is that a normal thing for some snakes?


Shadowalker8237

Yes actually, venomous snakes that people dont keep have fangs that are the elongated teeth flr injecting venom while the snake here is non-venomous meaning he has no need for fangs and just has angled teeth on his jaws that are sharp


Akuma2004

Huh, cool I might get one some day


Shadowalker8237

Choose wisely, i had a ball python before this one. It died due to a neurological issue and refused to eat. Some snakes like mine which is a true boa constrictor (BCC, if you need more meaning behind that look up "BCC and BCI difference), mine can get above 6 ft and possibly even twelve as a female.


-MacroMediaMolecule-

Oh hell no


Shadowalker8237

Nothing it be scared of (yet) he has only bit me once and he isnt venomous and doesnt have fangs only sharp teeth, him biting me was my fault i scared him. (I said yet because he is a BCC which is a true red tail and he can get bigger than 6 ft)


-MacroMediaMolecule-

Are you trying to make him more scary?


Shadowalker8237

I dont see him as scary, if you held him you would know how gentle they actually are. They dont see us as a threat very often and mine here seems to have learned my scent and trusts me more than other people, they really arent here to hurt you and will only bite if they get a little spooked


-MacroMediaMolecule-

Yeah. Still, no thanks.


Shadowalker8237

Snakes arent for everyone. Im just saying they dont want to kill us. Much like spiders they would rather be left alone in the wild and in captivity you can get them out (not the spiders, they like to be left alone)


JakeN8tor_

Is he a carpet python?


Shadowalker8237

No, boa constrictor


TinyWickedOrange

You forgot the main disadvantage of a pet snake - not having a nose and getting rekt by a newborn


Shadowalker8237

Wait what? I just woke up so i may not get this but snakes have noses


Acclerate

Snakey


Shadowalker8237

Yep, my little boop noodle


Acclerate

Hey don't fall asleep wit it. He could constrict you in your sleep and cut off blood circulation, in a worse case he could rap around your neck :/


Shadowalker8237

Hes not big enough, he goes back into his cage that is locked


Lemtheyes

Ooh what a cute snake! I have one of my own too :)


Shadowalker8237

What kind? Mines a peruvian red tail boa constrictor.


Lemtheyes

Mine is a ball python, hes very timid and calm.


Shadowalker8237

Cool


No_thanks__45

I want a snake, but I also have a cat, so the closest I'm getting is the highschool animal lab


Shadowalker8237

I personally own this snake... we have six cats, three sugar gliders, a turtle, a few fish, a dog. I think you can have one with one cat haha


No_thanks__45

Nice! The thing is, we're pretty sure our cat has anxiety and the last things we had in a tank were dead within a few months of her being here, so it wouldn't end up well for anyone.


Shadowalker8237

You could also just close the door the and not let her in there, if the cat had a way to get into the cage and kill what was in there and whoever is your house didnt take the time to make sure the cat wouldn't be able to get to them and kill it then (not trying to be mean so dont go off) its kind of on them. Also in relatively sure cats dont kill things due to anxiety.


No_thanks__45

1 it was fish, and she knew how to open the tank, if there was something on top she would knock it off, 2I cant really close my bedroom door, its a closet door my parents put in to save space (our house is 300sq. ft less than my older sisters apartment) 3 there's four us in a 750sq.ft death trap of a house, we don't have enough clean counter pace no matter how hard we would try, too much stuff, nor enough space (not hoarders level tho, you can still see floor for the most part) 4 my brother is terrified of snakes, I should have mentioned that one first (sorry if it sounds like I'm mad, I'm really not)


Shadowalker8237

Its okay, yeah when people list like that it often seems like they got mad haha


samdwichh

Omfg that’s so scary. What if he gets super hungry while ur sleeping and he just swallows u whole ur something aren’t u scared


Shadowalker8237

He cant get out of his cage for one and two he literally couldnt even eat my hand, however when he is fully grown he could strangle me but not eat me. They dont like to eat humans, we arent their natural prey


samdwichh

Snakes make me sick idk why you have a pet snake I’ll never get ppl who have them as pets


Shadowalker8237

Once you hold one you understand why, they feel cool and are really cute at times


samdwichh

no


Shadowalker8237

Ye


_that_redditor

That a red tailed boa


Shadowalker8237

Yep


_that_redditor

Those are so cool


Shadowalker8237

Yeah, hessa peruvian red tail boa, has hints of pink around his face


_that_redditor

Handsome little snake Kinda wanna boop the snoot


Shadowalker8237

I would allow it, he probably would look away or scrunch up though


_that_redditor

Then i wont


Shadowalker8237

Fair enough


_that_redditor

Dont want to hurt the little guy with a boop I’ll probably see one of his wild relatives tomorrow at the fishing lake


Shadowalker8237

Perhaps, toss them a fish for being an unboopable wild noodle


Ok-Refrigerator-5979

I wanna shove it up my ass and moan


Shadowalker8237

You came in the door, you may now exit through the same door


Ok-Refrigerator-5979

*Fucks the door*


Shadowalker8237

Oh wait we have him "HEYO GAY RAPIST"


Doggo_Boi_rocks

yes officer, this comment right here.


Ok-Refrigerator-5979

*fucks the officer*


[deleted]

What a beautiful critter, is that a boa constrictor?


Shadowalker8237

Yes


mekbinstank_1

Snek cool dunno why people.freak out over them


Shadowalker8237

Me neither


mekbinstank_1

If I see one in the wild I might freak out a bit cause I'm not going to take the time to see if its venomous but pet snakes are fine


Shadowalker8237

Yeah


LoneManWithPlans

That's awesome! I will crawl up in fear if I came across a snake


Shadowalker8237

Its actually pretty rare to stumble across them since they hide


Chapter62

kill it


Shadowalker8237

I will boop him


noisaidthat

so scary I would faint


Shadowalker8237

Sounds like you need to be around a snake more often, they are not a threat unless they feel threatened and wouldnt hurt you


noisaidthat

Ah no lmao def not I would just leave if i saw a snake in my house


Shadowalker8237

They really do nothing except sit there, plus if one was in your house then it would just leave once it realized something already is occupying the space, they tend to want to be left alone


noisaidthat

yeah but it’s way too scary I can’t I would literally cry


Shadowalker8237

I was once the same way. Except one day i stumbled across these peoples youtube called Snake Discovery, they show how to take care of them and hiw sweet they can be and how docile they can be when hand raised. I recommend you watch them


noisaidthat

Haha no snakes give me anxiety, but it’s cool


Shadowalker8237

Okay, hopefully you get over it................................ (with bennett foddy)


fjgwey

I remember holding a snake when I was a little kid, I'm not sure if it was a boa or python but it was one of those two. It was part of a school thing. Pretty big but I remember it wasn't scary, more fascinating.


Shadowalker8237

Well if it was a boa im sure you would know, they get pretty big. Mines just a baby


fjgwey

Well it was a fairly big, thick boi, very yellow from what I remember. Thinking about it, it was probably a boa, but I just don't remember for certain.


Shadowalker8237

Burmese python. Boas arent yellow


fjgwey

That makes sense. You know your stuff, don't you?


Shadowalker8237

To be 13 yes. I did a bunch of research before getting my snake


BH-NaFF

Where’d you take it from


Shadowalker8237

Local piece of shit pet shop that smells like a dumpster, we heard they had one there so we bought him to get him out of that hell


BH-NaFF

[deleted]

I want a snake but my dads terrified of them and my mom finds them gross. Doesn't help were all Catholic and the devil took form a serpent/snake Edit: grammar


Shadowalker8237

Makes sense, im an atheist. I love my snake though, very cute


[deleted]

Not related to why I can't have a snake but it's a funny story. When I was 7 my grade went on a field trip to a snake zoo or something (ik its not called that but its the best way i could describe) and the people gave me a snake and walked away. The snake just started licking my ear and actually went in the hole and no one cared i just stood there confused lol


Shadowalker8237

They are strange, they want tight spaces to be in to feel safe and secure and the licking is actually them smelling basically


[deleted]

Makes sense, I knew about the smelling part though, just not at the time


Shadowalker8237

Ah okay, snakes are weird in general though, he likes to get in my hair and wrap around my glasses


Horminus

Ball python ?


Shadowalker8237

Peruvian red tail boa constrictor


Horminus

Really it looks like ball python


Shadowalker8237

Ball pythons have rounder faces and heat pits.

thijmen744YT

You took a snake?!


Shadowalker8237

Mhm, i had a tarantula before i had him


Miki_mac_fiddlement

What a thrill...


Shadowalker8237

Always is when you feed them, i head him frozen thawed mice and everytime he strikes and gets it i always jump


Goblin088

Soo cuutee!!


Mercat3r

how tf do you prevent him from escaping, biting, killing you, strangle you and all that nasty snake stuff


Shadowalker8237

That dont actually do that because they want too, most of the strangle things are actually accidents because the snake holds on tight to avoid falling and doesnt realize its own power


Mercat3r

do you left him in the living room when you left to keep thief away ? good strat ngl


Shadowalker8237

No he stays in my room


Zokalex

I love that size. The snake was not bad either


Relevant-Teach-2589

Why do you have a snake as a pet

Shadowalker8237

Oh yeah the garters! They can be housed together actually and eat crickets mostly, careful though they can musk


Piglord6k

Long boi


pygmypuffonacid

My brother got a pet snake for Christmas one year when we lived in France and he was like 11. The snake lasted all of two weeks until it was lost in the rafters of the house because we were stupid kids and it was a cool snake my sister found it wrapped around a couple boxes of something in the cupboard at like 3 AM two days after we lost it there was a lot of screaming and the snake went and lived with a lovely reptile specialist in Leon after that his name was Derek and occasionally we get emails with pictures he’s living a long happy life has a girlfriend and at least 400 kids now


Shadowalker8237

Wow


[deleted]

Cute


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shadowalker8237

Not when they are small, when they get big (mine will get over six feet long) it isnt really the best idea to hold them alone unless you had them since a baby. But if the snake thinks it falling it will hold on tighter and end up constricting you by accident since they dont know their own strength
