I had a ball python a few years ago. Don't have pictures though. And for you guys who have spiders, scorpions, and other creepy things how do you sleep? No offense meant but I don't know anybody who's not terrified of spiders lol. I sleep with them locked in their cages. Altho my mother still tells the horror story about when I was in high school my tarantula got loose and she found it crawling up the wall in the living room while she was watching tv. I was at a friends house at the time and she called me to come get it. I think I had to hold the phone as far from my eas as possible to not go deaf she was screaming so loudly. Edit, Forgot to mention that I used my tarantula cage to hide anything I didnt want my parents to find. It was the only thing in the house my mom wouldnt search lol! |

Yeah I would have peed myself . But I do think the huge spiders are cool. Wouldn't want one, but to see how they act is pretty interesting. |

Neat. I saw a few of those legless lizards while hiking in Croatia. It surprised me to find out they were lizards and not snakes. Very cool animals. I've used them against religious fanatics for years., They ask why I'd want a snake as a pet, when in the Bible they are evil and causes Eve to eat the apple, etc. I tell them the "serpent" in the Bible was more likely a lizard, as it once had legs but lost them and was condemned to live out its days crawling on its belly. Some of those legless lizards hatch/are born with legs and lose them midway through their life. |

I'm suprised, I thought there would be some Hots in here by now.

Boa's can be nippy but you just have to be gental handling them and don't fuck with them when they are around food. only time mine ever got me was when I was trying to prod a mouse out of the corner.

Curious as well.. Biology? How do I know...got tagged by it a few years back...actually same species, different individual...anyway, freaking burned like fire for a bit, then my hand started swelling. I kept an eye on it, but outside of the swelling and burning, it didn't progress...still sucked though. Lasted about 3 days, Major differences (without an in-depth advanced herpetology lesson anyway) is that LL's have eyelids and can blink....also have ears and can hear (snakes are deaf)..are not as "supple" as most snakes.....LL's are kind of stiff...look close, you'll see a line down the lateral side of the LL, that is an expansion fold that allows them to hold large meals and also functions as reproductive expansion on some species... |

Got any experiance with the Cobalts? I can't decide on a bird eater or a Cobalt but I hear the cobalts are just fucking nasty mean Like all tarantulas, they have fangs large enough to break the skin of a human (1.9–3.8 cm or 0.75–1.5 in). They carry venom in their fangs and have been known to bite when threatened, but the venom is relatively harmless and its effects are comparable to those of a wasp's sting. Also, when threatened, they rub their abdomen with their hind legs and release hairs that are a severe irritant to the skin and mucous membranes. They have urticating hairs that can even be harmful to humans, and are considered by some to be the most harmful tarantula urticating hair of all. Tarantulas generally bite humans only in self-defense, and these bites do not always result in envenomation (known as a "dry bite"). The Goliath birdeater has poor eyesight and mainly relies on vibrations in the ground, which it can sense from within its burrow. [size=3] Quoted:
