Re: I DONT want that snake........

Ok, so you picture me as a short fat Angus Young (AC/DC) lookalike. Check the face to a name thread, I put a pic up earlier, wont stop me sounding like that in your head, but at least you'll know what I look like ;-)

Re: I DONT want that snake........

Thanks lol. I remember a few years ago I started reading The catcher in the rye, J D Salinger, about half way down the first page of the narrator say's "and I mean that i really do" Instantly I heard Martin O'Neals voice, who was the manager of Celtic at the time and I just could not get into it, hearing an Irshman narrate an American classic. It was wierd lol

Re: I DONT want that snake........

I probably won't ever own another ball unless it is pied. Venomous snakes are awesome to look at but I am to lax when working with my snakes and don't want to risk it.

I like all snakes but I would not want to own anything that is over 8 feet or venemous.

Re: I DONT want that snake........

Anything too big we can't afford rabbits or larger food on a constant basis. I don't like white or albino snakes for some reason and yellow on whites just look wrong to me.

Re: I DONT want that snake........

Mine would have to be bloods, i dont like the shape of their heads, and never been a fan of short fat snakes, just the last few years have i come to like balls pythons, maybe in the next few ill share the blood addiction. but i have to say, i love the patterns and colors they have.

Re: I DONT want that snake........

Although I'm more of a python/boa person, I love just about all snakes and lizards. I have yet to find one that hasn't eventually grown on me in one way or the other. I can see the beauty in all eventually.

Morphs are a different story. I love burms but most morphs aren't that appealing. Same with most other morphs. It's kind of like liking a band, but not necessarily liking every song.

Not sure how I feel about the spider ball morphs due to the known wobble. Having an animal with a known defect is one thing, breeding it is another. I have heard that spiders and most morphs using the spider genes are some of the best eaters and breeders despite their neurological issues.

I don't think I could turn down any rescue, except maybe hots. I'll help someone rehome them, but keeping them is another story.

I doubt I'll ever get into breeding, so having certain morphs for breeding projects isn't necessary.

For the most part, I like an animal I can interact with and not just look at, which limits animals I'll actually purchase. Some just aren't for me. Still doesn't stop me from drooling over some of them though lol Nor rescuing them.

Sorry for rambling....I just got finished with an 16 hour work day and I'm brain dead.

Exclamation Re: I DONT want that snake........

Another reason I don't like Ball Pythons? Spiders "wobble?" EVERY ONE OF THEM?! Why are they still produced? People create an animal that WILL have a neurological disorder? Why?

Please, tell me if I'm overreacting here, but this is morally unconscionable to me. Doesn't anyone they to think of it from the snake's perspective?

Should this one be moved to "rants?"

Ok, sorry for exploding. Five minutes ago I had never heard of this and it just totally flipped me out. I'm better now.

Re: I DONT want that snake........

Spider wobble varies greatly from little to no wobble or only being present when in feed mode to very extreme wobble and head twirling. It's not the only snake out there that all in the specific morph have the same neurological disorder. I can't remember the exact one but there is a carpet python like that also. I don't think one with a very bad wobble should be bred but if it can still eat and seems to have a good life why shouldn't you let it live.

As for the snake I don't want I'd have to say corns and most colubirds they just don't really interest me. The one little snake I would like to own though is a few garters.
