How Do You Bathe a Stubborn Python?

How Do You Bathe a Stubborn Python?

With a machete!

I don't understand the attraction to snakes.

Cold blooded, pea brained, zero empathy, predators - I'm sure Freud would have a field day explaining what type of personal neurosis make certain people find that type of creature attractive.

How do you bath you Python and a cat at the same time. . . Put the cat in the tub and let the python find the motivation to go eat it :0 Both problems solved.

Wow, really, vonskippy? So anyone who likes snakes is suffering from some kind of mental defect?

Just because you're apparently scared of snakes doesn't mean people who like them have "personality neuroses." I hope you were kidding.

i don't understand the attraction to snakes either - but lots of people don't understand my total devotion to my dogs. so, dif'rent strokes.

i don't know how snakes think or if they bond with people or even recognize individuals or any of that stuff, but that one actually seems pretty cool.

a question though...with a snake that big, what's to stop it from constricting around a person? doesn't seem like there'd be much you could do if that's what the snake had in mind. is keeping them well-fed enough?

No, it's a stupid idea to keep a snake as a pet. it really is.

Why the hell would you want to wash it, anyway? Did it get sprayed by a skunk? Rolled in the mud? Can't imagine it's a natural event in its life; and it might really piss it off.

@BikerRay: Snakes are naturally kinda stinky creatures, much like dogs (although very different smell). I imagine a snake that big would get pretty smelly.

Is soap safe for snakes?

b: which is why a normal person doesn't keep an enormous snake in his/her house.

@b - I'm no "normal" person, rather an exotice vet that specialized in large constrictors. Hence, she's in my house as a pet. ;)

@AntDude - anything safe for human skin is safe for a snake. Their eyes are not mucus membranes like a mammal's, so soaking in bubble bath is no problem.

@BikerRay - she urinated in her cage, so smelled bad. Washing the whiz off the snake is part in par of proper hygine, imho. :)

To anyone else interested... check out her FB page through her site - juliusthepython.com. Might just change your opinion of "cold-blooded pea-brained predators" as pets. Enjoy!

Your e-mail says it all more than anything else could.

@ted - I couldn't resist busing this domain!

Er... "buying".

Note to self - get more sleep.

Omg what a cutie. I've been really wanting to get a snake myself lately.
