LOL... wouldn't be so worried about a Bobbitt incident...but lap protection is a definite plus! When my boyfriend and I went to pick up one of my borneos in Toronto, I totally forgot to bring a transport container  , so I convinced him to hold the bag on his lap. He's not a big fan of snakes and wanted to switch places and he would drive and I could hold but no go on my end  Not 3 minutes in the car and he musked all over the place... about the size of a dinner plate all over my boyfriends lap We still had about an hour 45 to go....what a memorable ride that was...peeeyeeeww! :toilet:

The only thing that would turn me off of a snake is their size, eg: something that gets over 8 ft! So I'm not going to be running off and buying anymore snakes for a long time.

That is probly a good idea, its not a good idea to rush into anything. but uless you get a WC malyasin blood python ur not going to end up with a verry long snake. if you get a nice sumatrin male the snake is probly going to be around 4-5 feet.

They don't need to be long, though they may not have length, these are very large, powerful constrictors! And their dumpy appearance may give them a cumbersome appearance, but these are some of the fastest snakes around. They have such an incredible feeding response! I agree these snakes are very rewarding to keep, however they deserve a lot of respect and should not be taken for granted. IMHO an 8' boa is easier to handle than a 5' blood.

Well once any of my snakes reach 5 ft I will have atleast one other person there. Even now with my 3 ft BP I prefer to have someone there when I feed....just in case. Not sure just in case of what. But I always have someone there. Thank you for all the info and views!!

They feed on rats and rabbits and reach weights of anywhere from 20-40 lbs
