Giant Snakes (Burms, Retics, Anacondas etc..)

BE A RESPONSIBLE GIANT SNAKE OWNER.

-Do know that these guys will grow BIG. VERY BIG like 10-18ft or even more weighing about 200-300lbs.
-Food gets costly when they are BIG, Chickens, rabbits etc..
-And when they reach 8 FEET Long, they should be handled with at least two persons, more will be better.
-These guys can easily accidentally choke you until you faint, this has already happened to a friend of mines "boy" or the his snake keeper. He was just walking about by himself and he suddenly fainted.
-You must construct a good solid Tank for these guys as they are strong and can easily break through weak glass. Frankly, I don't like them in cages, a good large solid wood tank with thick acrylic might be the best for them. But this is just my opinion

-CHILDREN have been accidentally killed/eaten because of neglectful owners all of over the world.

Make sure to read the care sheets first of the breed you are getting.

Post about your Giant snakes here

In 2001 I had my first normal burmese, named her Sssophie. She passed away the same year, an accident happened in the house, we gave her a bath in sink, with some soap in it, she dove in, it took me a few seconds to pull her out, and once I did, she was fine. But after an hour or so there was foaming in the mouth

So sad really. She was my first snake..

Last night I was given one by a friend. Well she sent two, one for me and another friend of ours. Since I wanted a male (good advice from lil-jinx) since they don't grow that big and I don't have the facility for it, I went to the doc this morning to get them popped. Luckily one was a male and the other was a female. The Female will go to my friend.

I was able to by a huge 4feet tank here at istorya at 500 pesos. Will have a secure cover made and this will act as its home. Can't wait to set it up.

Here they are:

Actually, most accidents are because of the owners. These are gentle giants most of the time. If follow standard protocol lang you will see nga perting ninduta gyud ani nila

To give you an example, this hatchling has been on my office table for the last 3 hours just sitting there not trying to escape or hide:
