Safe to handle!

These large animals certainly attract attention at public gatherings!

As pets they require warmth year 'round, and the feeding cycle?? They can eat a LOT when they get hungry, but when it comes time to shed the skin, they'll often refuse food for several weeks at a time.... but after it sheds - your snake will be as hungry as EVER! (Do you have any spare rabbits sitting around?!).

"Is a python ever dangerous?"

I'm often asked that question...... and the answer is USUALLY "NO"......... however when the cage is first opened when the snake is hungry....... the answer can be sometimes "YES"!

Upon opening the door, the snake can approach - and even strike - at the "movement", thinking the approaching hand could be FOOD! Anyways once the snake is out of the cage, picked up and being handled

it's as safe as EVER!

A little reminder of "Paradise"!

Believe it or not, on the underside of these large snakes there are two legs! Yes...... actual legs, each tipped with a claw!

REMEMBER THE GARDEN OF EDEN?!

When the "Fall of Man" occurred, God had EVERY REASON to strike snakes off the entire Earth (as well as US - for He "Repented" the fact He made Man!), but He LEFT the snake here!

He took the Unicorn "out" in the Great Flood, but spared the snake - for a testimony that His Word is TRUE! Yes....... the same serpent that tricked Adam and Eve into eating the forbidden fruit (by the way, the fruit could have been anything from an avocado to a zucchini! All we are told is God said "Do not EAT"........... and we ATE! I said "we" because we ALL would have fallen at that temptation!) had physical LEGS - which were made rather USELESS after that! God never said "Snake, I'll take away your legs"

INSTEAD

He said "On your belly you shall go, and dust of the Earth you shall eat all the days of you life"!

What is DUST - and why every DAY? If you have a chance to watch these giant snakes crawling along the ground, every few seconds it's tongue comes out and "tastes" both the air and the ground, and actually "eats" the dust particles - all the days of it's LIFE - just as God said! He ALSO left just enough "leg" on the snake to prove His Word is REAL (perhaps if ALL the snakes' legs were removed, perhaps some people would have trouble believing that part of the Bible!), and besides the legs being used for some minor breeding activities perhaps, the legs are otherwise USELESS. A NOTE OF CAUTION: Don't go out lifting snake tails in YOUR neighborhood looking for legs, as there will probably be none........ plus you may get bit in trying! Remember the "Fall of Man" happened in Eden - Paradise - where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers freely flow. The land there now has been "cursed" just like the snake, but will one day be restored! Where in the world IS this "now-CURSED" place? Iran and Iraq!
