Knives with Reptiles?

Below is a pic of Helios sleepily constricting my Endura 4. Ball pythons are very shy, people friendly snakes and are uber-easy pets to take care of; I've owned 3 over the years.

(Apologies about the crappy quality but the lighting in the room was bad)

My Blue Tegu walks around and when he gets bored he comes to me or my wife for attention, climbs up on our leg and falls asleep in our laps because we are warm.
So does our Cuban Rock Iguana. Here is a video of him telling me that he has to go potty. He then takes himself to the bathroom where there is a tile floor and does his business there. Generally, reptiles do their own thing, but lots of them will recognize their owners for certain.

That's definitely true. My cornsnake doesn't like other people holding him. He'll tolerate them, but he comes straight back whenever the opportunity arises.

Am I allowed to ask which of the reptiles has the most interactive personality to own as a pet? I'm the kind of lady that rather have pets that recognize humans and has a wish to interact with humans by choice. Or are reptiles in general too single minded that if they escape, they would never look back and we will never find them again? Hopefully this wont be off subject.

In relation to snakes, I've babysat a corn snake once for a teacher during a summer. One day it escaped and I came home from school to see my cat standing in front of a recliner that was sitting in the corner in a guarding mode. I moved the chair only to find that corn snake hiding under the chair. Now that's a smart cat, corning that snake rather than killing it (which she has done in the past while she was outside).

If you can -watch a DVD called "King Lizard" its about monitors- they look back at you.Some are large and aggressive others tiny and aggressive and there are some that are just right.

"I swear Officer, its only sphagnum moss for my snakes" ;)
 
Always great to see a chameleon reach for you when you open cage.

if anyone else, they would hiss.
 
Thanks C-Becker. You are right, it is a clown BP. I have been breeding BP's for quite some time as a hobby/business. It can get way more expensive than knives. lol

This thread is messing with my head like worlds and sub-cultures colliding! Blown away by it! Lol great thread!
 
Just wait till we start talking genetics lol
The substrate is called "Tierwohl Super", a fine wood chip substrate normally used for horses. A lot of german breeders use it.
Much cheaper than ReptiWood or other special reptile stuff, and it works quite well
 
I did a favor for the Staten Island Zoo, they have one of North America's largest Rattlesnake collections. And they invited us behind the scenes. Here's my wife with Reptile Matt inside of the asian croc exhibit. We were walking in the back of the venomous snakes section and he opens the door and tells us to go in and there's like 3 pair of eyes staring back at us.

This is the actual physical desk of Carl Kauffeld who curated the SI Zoo's collection. If you don't know him he's basically a legend and one of the grandfather's of the reptile hobby.

If you ever wondered zoos have a panic alarm system in case of a venomous bite

Protocols are set on the wall and of course a fridge full of antivenin

A giant box of crofab is below
They had an Albino Crotalus who I forget where Matt said they got it from

Idiot vs. Wild - needlessly killing animals for a stupid TV show :thumbdn:
What a great advertisement for us knife users
 
Real manly. Killing a tiny little guy for tv entertainment. Way more protein he could ever eat so why do it except for tv ratings.



**This is not whine and cheese. Are folks illiterate or just douche bags. Thread is on pet reptiles and knives. Not knives on reptiles.

Most common place place people get bitten by a snake? The hand.

Evidently snakes can jump really high! :confused:

* I was sarcastically making the point that most snake bites occur when people try to mess with or kill them.

There's a reason for that!!!

I was at the Desert Museum in Arizona and their scientists gave an even funnier stat. Highest area for bites on males between 18 and 50 upper extremities and hands. Highest bite areas for women - at the knee or below. Reason? Apparently upon furthering the study, males have a way higher frequency of wanting to "interact" with venomous snakes when confronted vs women who usually get bit while gardening, thus being bit in the lower extremity.
