Eaten alive, the home version
Well my sweet loving water python decided once again that my finger was just too tasty to pass up lol. Last time she let go on her own in about ten seconds. This time, not so much. I had to try every trick in the book. Finally it took warm water, slowly increasing the temperature until she decided the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. I must say this species, or at least this snake is turning out to be the most unpredictable I have kept so far in my life. But something so beautiful is worth a little spilled blood.

Re: Eaten alive, the home version
Liasis fuscus Australian water python. Beautiful snakes. Their iridescence is unreal. Known for being defensive and unpredictable. Mine is actually not defensive in the least. Never struck at me. She does however from time to time decide when she's crawling around to just latch on and taste me so to speak. They're not large snakes, usually maxing out around six feet. In the same family as white lipped pythons and olive pythons.

Re: Eaten alive, the home version
When I googled pics it shows them eating crocks and gators o.o
Is that a different type of water python?

Re: Eaten alive, the home version
Most likely the snake you saw was an olive python. They can get well over ten feet but look very similar.

Re: Eaten alive, the home version
Is this the picture you saw? If so this is an olive python. Same family, different species.

Re: Eaten alive, the home version
Olives can get pretty big, Minkness.
I thought it was one of ours, IW17. I can't remember which way it goes, but apparently the temperament varies between Northern Territory and Queensland specimens.

OK that good to know. I've never heard that myself. I honestly have no idea which locality mine is comes from. It's difficult to find a lot of information on this species compared to others. They're a very interesting species never the less. Always active, beautiful and an insane feeding response. Makes my retics look calm.

Re: Eaten alive, the home version
I was thinking about getting one of these but I already have one crazy snake to deal with...and one who I'm still getting to know but should be crazy lol. They are very beautiful. Would they utilize large water features?

Re: Eaten alive, the home version
Just out of curiosity, what do you feed it?
