I think I heard he was killed by his Boa. LOL That would make him the second reported case in the US.

If the hobbyist are going to exaggerate the facts, God help us what the media will do.

His previous owner said he did the same thing roaming wise.
As usual, people on forums that apparently know everything have to make a stupid deal over what I described that works for me and mine.
While you guys were posting all your incredulous put downs about how stupid I must be, Ace was under the covers with me apparently enjoying the massaging I give him. Every time I peeked under at him, he would quite obviously I might add, look over at me (you can see their eyes move watching like), and move his head even closer to my hand.
As for him escaping, not an option. How could he with no breaks in a wall, open windows, etc.? I mean, really. I am just not that ignorant to not fully appreciate the enclosure that our home is.
I recently had a very short video of him coming down the hall into my room and gliding right past my cat who simply watched him as he passed by. It is apparently true that they won't attack anything when not hungry as well as they have a built way of sizing up what they can get their jaws and mouth around and therefore won't mess with it.

Just because you haven't seen it happen, doesn't mean it isn't possible.

You came to an open forum to ask for advice and now you're mad because it's not what you want to hear. Not our problem. What happens when your boa gets big enough to think it can take your cat? This thread... Agh. Don't even know what to say.

Are you going to tell me a 5 year old isn't fully grown.
I would be inclined to think maybe, maybe not. Unlike goldfish at least, their life time size is based on the room they have to grow in.

And don't flatter yourself thinking I am "mad". That couldn't be further from the truth.

And BTW, there are 3 very different sized cats and one very big caged rabbit and he looks at them all and slithers away.

OP is the troll

Well...at least when the snake gets bigger it'll have enough food for a year with the cats and rabbit being around.

Not hardly. And I am likely old enough to be your mother so you should really respect your elders.

Respect is something that is earned, not given because of age. What I have seen you post here, you deserve no respect form the reptile community. The only thing I can see you post being is a joke on what not to do with your snake.

Nicely said =)

And OP, if you don't even understand 'the humidity thing' it amazes me you still have a snake.

If you don't like what this community has to say about your husbandry or you seriously feel that what you're doing is fine, but love your animal, take it to a reptile vet and find out what's wrong with him.'liking' cold is not in any reptile's nature so there may actually be something wrong. And if you LOVE him like you claim, you should fix whatever it is he needs to make sure he's as healthy as he is happy.

Kids are perfectly happy eating junk food and staying out past their bed times, but that doesn't make it HEALTHY.

And if you go to another forum with this same question, don't be butt hurt if you get the same responses. Forums are notoriously over run with us fanatics, so few will agree with your views or pat you on the back and say "cool, that's ok".


You're doing wrong by your pets, hard truth hurts sometimes, but that doesn't make it any less true.

And I mean all your pets. Won't surprise me one bit if one of your cats or rabbit go missing...or that your snake is found wounded or dead if the cat manages to get the upper hand in that battle. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next month....but eventually, it's bound to happen.

Love him all you like, but sadly, love is not enough to fix your issues.

P.s. As for the troll comment...Trolls generally try to piss people off...you're just ignorant and stuborn.

I never made a troll comment, I simply refuted the fact that I am not one.
I came here with a serious question and still haven't gotten an admission that it "could" be a possibility, that he likes some cold.

If he was so bad off, he wouldn't look as good as he does unlike some of the photo's of others I have seen posted on the forums, especially that poor yellow, scrawny thing somewhere in here.

If I were stubborn, I wouldn't have taken the very small bit of advice, looked up info about humidity, changed the closet around to accommodate the same arrangement and items his aquarium had, etc.
He has eaten anything from medium to large frozen thawed mice to large rats frozen thawed 33 for the year and shed twice.
No mouth rot, no mites, no resp infects, not skinny, etc. I'd say I have done him damn well as a first time owner.
And if he was so deprived and miserable out roaming around, why, with the newly improved closet home is he crawling all over the closed door wanting out??? Don't answer that.

And have a great Christmas.

With this type of trash mouth, uncalled for response, it's no wonder no one will respect you. Have a nice day.

i'm a father of 4 and grandfather of 5,that does NOT give me automatic respect,respect has to be earned in this life

feck all that respect your elders crap there's some well nasty old people out there,so if they don't earn it,it's simple they don't get any...

that's just my way of doing things,now that i think about it,my whole country thinks this way,in Scotland respect is earned never just given

i give everyone the same fair chance,also i treat people how they treat me (look at my signature)


i wish you a merry xmas and a happy healthy new year

All the best,Shaun

P.S. If you won't take credible advice,then this thread has ran it's course imo

I have said it like 5 times now, it's really unlikely and almost certainly won't happen but that's just not the point.

The point is that if it could happen and can be Avoided than avoid it, know what I mean?

And like I said if it did happen, it would affect us all.

You make it sound like I'm pro media and against large snakes. You couldn't be more wrong.
