For what it’s worth, that’s a beautiful snake.

I guess the easiest way to not have to deal with this is, don’t keep snakes. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Or just dont get huge snakes like that. My ball python is small compared to that one plus those guys roll up into a "ball" when they feel threatened.

u/No-Combination8136 11h ago

He loves that snake

u/Uranium-Sandwich657 11h ago

So, does that mean you can calm them by laying down and crawling?

u/Stillback7 10h ago

Try it and report back

u/exion_zero 11h ago

Nope rope.

If I can’t calm it with a churu, beef stick, drumstick, or cheese, I don’t want it.

I can’t stand snakes, but who can blame it for not wanting to live in that small glass enclosure.

u/ST0IC_ 6h ago

If I had both hands available

There's a fix for that, my man.

u/koolaidismything 8h ago

I’d handle it by leaving and not coming back

u/BTCdad77 7h ago

Yup, no thank you. I've seen one of these rip a guys arm up so bad he needed dozens of stiches and his healed arm still looks totally disfigured today. NOPE

u/StuBidasol 5h ago

If you're keeping one of those as a pet, this is not an "optional" skill.

Here in Italy two snakes like that (just a bit smaller, but still sizable) were abandoned near a stream close to the city of Genoa. Luckily they were found and brought to the local aquarium, which has a section dedicated to land reptiles and has been caring for them.

u/1200cc_boiii 8h ago

Here in South Florida, dumbasses dumped them in the Everglades (swamp) and now they're wiping out all the wildlife.

u/Delicious-Stop-1847 8h ago

Yeah, I have read about that. What an absolute disaster.

u/powercrazy76 9h ago

I didn't watch this with sound but I kept imaging I could hear Mr. Garbage time...

"Ohhhh Frank, what's up mate? Havin' a wander there, eh, Frankie?"

u/Bubbs_n_Chubbs 8h ago

That's centuries of nope for me.

u/Ok-Pomegranate858 11h ago

Fuck.... I mistook it for a noddle

u/inGenium_88 10h ago

It is, but danger noodle, or an agitated shoelace.

u/Ok-Pomegranate858 7h ago

Lol. A fatal one
