She did. It was scary a week because for one, we had just gotten her like 3 weeks prior, & of course she was very shook up from that. Then she went into the milk stage. & since I didn't know much of anything then I thought the laundry detergent blinded her for life. But I will give her this; She snapped out of that timidness MONTHS before my girlfriend did.
But a Bull Snake huh? Those get pretty big too, don't they?
I have seen some huge bull snakes. Females tend to be bigger ,so he may not be a monster,but he is AWESOME, he eats right out of my hand! His "strike" is about an inch long ,I can hold the rat while he eats it. (frozen/ thawed, he is TERRIFIED of live prey) he looks like this
Yeah, I have a buddy who feeds his python live prey, & it is pretty cool to watch. But after reading up on the pros & cons of that. I decided to stick with pre-killed for mine. It's just safer.
But yeah that is cool that you have one of those as well. Is that all you have, or do you have more than that?
Nice! Reptile lovers all the way, huh? My mom has had a love for snakes since before I was ever thought of. She even had 1 or 2 before I was born. So of course she was very excited when we got our snake.
Ophidiophobia or ophiophobia is a particular type of specific phobia, the abnormal fear of snakes. Fear of snakes is sometimes called by a more general term, herpetophobia, fear of reptiles and/or amphibians. The word comes from the Greek words "ophis" (ὄφις) which refers to snakes and "phobia" (φοβία) meaning fear.
Care must also be taken to differentiate people who do not like snakes or fear them for their venom or the inherent danger involved. An ophidiophobic would not only fear them when in live contact but also dreads to think about them or even see them on TV or in pictures. [1]
Recent studies conducted have theorised that humans may have an innate reaction to snakes, which was vital for the survival of humankind as it allowed such dangerous threats to be identified immediately
However, being a 38 year old Aussie, many from overseas would be surprised to read that I've never seen one in the wild - only in zoos & sanctuaries - & I certainly hope to keep it that way!!
Actually I don't dislike them. My stepdaughter had one and when was going to college whe wanted me to take care of it. However, I have a problem with live bait - mice etc. I told her I would buy or cook a hamburger for her snake but no live mice. She took it with her.
