Letting it free roam was stupid and dangerous, though i would have said more so for the snake. I mean, its not like it wasn't giving her fair warning and everything, it didn't just suddenly attack her.

The main issue with snakes is they don't adapt mentaly to captivity and are driven mostly by instinct. It would be like you sleeping next to a giant chocolate cake each night, how long would it take you to say "stuff these veggies, im having that cake!"

Also, with that guy taking his to the field, as long as it is eating regularly it shouldn't be a problem to dogs, and again, it would be more dangerous for the snake because it could get attacked. Snakes can get aweful injuries from live prey like mice, so imagin what damage a dog could do!


Anyway, those bites look nasty!
I envy you though, must be amazing to have such beautiful snakes around the house.

A "friend of a friend" had a large python, left it free to roam in her house.. she woke up a couple of times and the snake would be on her bed stretched out along side her. It had stopped eating also and when she took it to the vet he said it was "sizing her up" to eat her!!!!! eek:eek:
