Gaz6002 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 How do you keep toads? *waits for punchline* He has his in a tank. They live with some tree frogs (the cool looking ones) and need branches and water to hop around in. They eat small crickets and make some weird barking noises when you play music or loud films. Very entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 That's correct. Anaconda's are Boa's (boa constrictors), pythons are a sub-family of boa's. Or something like that. Both are non-venomous. Snakes frighten me a lot, I think that's why I have tried to shut out all information/facts I've ever heard about them. Scary things, but thanks. *waits for punchline* He has his in a tank. They live with some tree frogs (the cool looking ones) and need branches and water to hop around in.

I love frogs I think they must take some looking after though, like even more than normal pets when it comes to illness and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akin to fish in fact except you don't feed them every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My relatives in Poland have terrapins. They are evil though, always very bitey and not at all grateful for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARTIN R Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 A friend of my daughter's has three pet snakes. One of which - a python - she lets curl up and sleep with her at night. It recently stopped eating so she took it to the vet. The vet could find nothing wrong with the creature and asked if it was doing anything different. The girl said that it usually sleeps curled up on her bed but had just started to sleep stretched out next to her, but that was the only thing other than that it wasn't eating. At this the vet looked horrified and explained that the snake was starving itself and measuring the length of the girl in readiness to eat her! Neadless to say the snake is now kept in a cage at night. thats not good at all:faint: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snooze Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Vicki's dad keeps and breeds snakes (no poisonous stuff, tho!) - he has a shedful of the things in the back garden (and another shedful of mice being bred for food!). Vicki has many stories of the things getting loose and being found sometime later in various locations around the house! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I love that story, my mate told it me and i was like wow! Shame up spoilt it and didnt tell them the full story, two trips to the vet, gives it the build up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 My Cat does but I am sure he isn't about to eat me,lol. If he was big enough he would. Or kill you for a laugh and leave you at the bottom of the stairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Did anyone watch the new David Attenborough program? There was a python eating a grown deer whole, which makes me wonder if they could manage a human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra61 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Did anyone watch the new David Attenborough program? There was a python eating a grown deer whole, which makes me wonder if they could manage a human. I watched a snake on animal planet kill and swallow a baby hippo whole, i belive it was a bermise python of about 22ft.also the largest anaconder recorded was aprox 60ft,so yes a snake could manage a human.
