oh and I gave my mom a corn snake, it escaped out of its wood/glass cage. I was like wot?... sheesh.. 2 years later we found the serpant in the roof twice the size ha ha..

A guy I work with also had a white corn snake escape just over a year ago. He heard his dogs going beserk last night and was surprised to find the same snake in the garden near his gate! It also looked well fed and in great condition.

Wierd how yours and his stayed in the same location for all that time...

There's is a petshop in Boksburg that apparently lost an Reticulated python. The owner said that he's heard a few noises in the roof and saw some tracks in the dust but he's is not planning on getting in there with it.

I lost my first corn a few years ago right before winter, found it again 8 months later on the opposite side of the farm in my uncles house. Also still in good condition.

Listen Guys how much do the Taiwanese Rat snakes go for? Any other suggestions will be appreciated.

[Jamster]

Ok theyre not the most ornamental snake but a nice big molesnake will teach you to avoid getting bitten, There are lumo green nightadders around but they arent often available and ofcourse feeding can be a problem

[Jamster]

Depends on how much youve got to spend. . . A friend of mine is selling three cave dwelling ratsnakes a.k.a Ridleys ratsnakes. Its like a taiwanese but with less markings and blues and purples.

I must say that I find it very disturbing to read on this forum alone, how many people lose an animal (pet). I have never lost even a coin let alone a pet. I’m sure it happens but it’s still disturbing what if that retic grabs a kid then bam more bad publicity for this beloved hobby of ours. I really think we should be more responsible as pet owners. Now I don’t want to step on any toes and I’m not attacking anyone that posted in this thread, I do think however we shouldn’t speak about such things so openly, it sets a president for new owners that join this forum (as in well it happened to them and the animal was fine why should I look for mine, it will turn up) just an idea

I see your point. But why keep it hush?, people come here to be informed and learn from others mistakes, then on they flip side they will lock the animals up properly and make sure they do not escape.

That's why i said someone needs to go check that python in the roof out and get it out there.

If someone lose's and animal and doesn't even bother looking for it, that makes no sense if you paid for it and care for it you want to find it.

The only president set here is to make sure you don't let them escape

[kinghero]

Sage, not saying keeps it hush, saying that if you going to speak about it maybe we shouldn’t be so casual about the fact that it escaped in the first place. I saw you said someone needs to look for it and if I was closer id even go look for it, so at least I know you share my sentiment. It’s just really shocking to me that this happens to people, it’s just insane, mind baffling. But like I said I’m not here to fight or rock a boat or anything this is just the way my mind works and though that all the snake lovers would see my suggestion as it is a “suggestion” I mean I’m not a big snake lover but I do find them interesting, I am a pet lover thou and that’s why I found it so shocking

[Sage]

Cool.

If I was you I would rather start at the shield nose or the corals as they tend to spread the hood so u could hopefully get used to the way the move and how bad tempered they can be atleast they not as venomous as the kings. They are also relatively small and a lot easier to keep. if u get used to them then its up to u to get ur king

[snake kid]

Taiwanese baby's go for between R550 to R650 and adults up to R1500.

Guys how does a baby Ugandan Rhino Viper sound?

im 29 i do my research, and know the golden rule!! never to trust a serpent, NEVER TO GET INTO A COMFORT zone with a snake no matter what. They will kill you with one slight mistake!!! I really respect what you guys have said about hot snakes, and everyone can be thankful for the warnings and great info you guys give while people like me do our research.

New people like me must make sure of everything before bringing something so dangerous into your life.

No person should ever take a hot snake into there home/wendy house with out a super secure setup lots of research and a constant up keep of the animal. You have to have you ducks in a row!

Anyways when the timing is rite.
