Evidently snakes can jump really high!
Naw, most can't but they can lift up 2/3 of their entire body length. So even a relatively small snake could reach your hand if you are standing.

Seems you have the title of the thread reversed , the title of the thread actually has the word "knives" before the word "reptiles, not reptiles before the word knives.
And killing a "tiny little" guy?
That doesn't look too tiny or little to me.

I've dined on Alligator, turtle and snake in Louisiana and all three were quite tasty.

That was a little guy, Google redtail boa. That's a little bigger. Snakes don't attack humans. They're not threatening. Bear wasn't going to eat 25 pounds of snake he just did it for entertainment. I've got an 8 foot carpet python in my house. She's like a little puppy harmless unless you happen to smell like a jumbo rat and her prey instinct turns on.
If folks were around them more they would understand that killing one like that would be like bashing a puppy's head in. No challenge or sport in that. Just cowardice. And the thread said pet reptiles.
Jball are you a breeder those are all show quality!

Cbach that probbie wouldn't happen. Me and my wife ran through the everglades via kayak and on foot, went through alligator alley, spoke with wildlife sherrifs looking for cottonmouths to photograph for a week straight. We photograph reptiles in the wild as a hobby of ours. Totally eluded us. The whole anoconda/python thing as an invasive species is all blown out of proportion. Those big Burmese pythons are not cold tolerant. So last years freeze down there would have done them in.

Pics of some of our snakes for the haters.
And one of a knife to make it relevant.
jball, those are some gorgeous lavendars! I have a buddy who breeds balls (Ziller Reptiles) and I'm always amazed by all the cool variations of ball pythons that are out there.
The best time to see herps is when temps drop. Yes they are less active which people associate with less sightings but since they are dependent on heat many will reveal themselves in exchange for the warmth of the sun. Many invasive species have died during the past few winters, they would either get too lethargic and die or would become easy prey by exposing themselves. Two winters back I remember seeing iguanas laying on the road trying to warm up, most became roadkill. If going in the summer good luck, most are nocturnal and very hard to spot. My suggestion is to pick a day when weather is nice and just go have a good wilderness outing, if you see something it will be a bonus, if not, no disappointment.

cchu518,
Love your pictures. I grew up reading about Kauffeld, Klauber, Pope, Haast, and Schmidt. I've always had a fascination with the "loaded serpents".
Andy,
You, my friend live in close proximity with some of the scariest snakes on the planet. Not to mention a couple of spiders. I've read Sutherland's book and found it fantastic.

Those are some interesting colors on them. Can you list the names? Kinda curious!
Thx.
They are all ball pythons except the last one. The name of the morphs from top to bottom: coral glow, lesser enchi, genetic stripe, king pin, cinnamon coral glow, vanilla cream, pastel superstripe, pastel ivory, killer bee, mojave, Fire champagne. The last one is a golden child tiger reticulated python.
