Yeah, they're beautiful snakes, and I would want one in future. They're a bit more work to look after because of the humidity requirements, so a BP is a good starting point.

I hear you,,, enjoy....
Re: Humidity, not to serious to manage if you have a decent water feature in the enclosure, always nice to have a spot for them to take a splash..
To be honest, I dont know much about Bp's????
Enjoy it though.

BP's are just easy to look after, pretty much the easiest python to care for. I don't think a Rainbow Boa will have an issue with humidity in Durban, but still, better safe than sorry.

You guys have have a lot of humidity up that side.... Thankfully not as much here "YET"!!!
Just spent most of the day on the water again testing a new electro fishing device on Bass strains we have here... All good! No deaths = a good day! Felt like I was in DBN though,Hot and humid! Your weather/climate is slowly making it's way south and the Bucket mouths are loving it! lol!

I used to fish for bass often in East London. I know of a little dam/pond that is pretty much public, over grown with lilies and full of very dark, but strong Large Mouths. It's not in the best area, but if you take a couple mates you can fish it. The bass are pretty much wild, and even a smallish one fights like a monster.

Jbay, please PM the where-abouts/directions for this water, I would like to check it out some time, if it hasn't been buggered up yet anyway. I have quit a few dams around EL that have been stocked, some 10 years ago already... A lot of the smaller public waters have been trashed or have squatter camps upstream... pffft!

I'm keen on a snake, but I'm trying to wait until the rat/mouse shortage subsides. Nice pic's you have there.

If I can give any advice, go for one of the bigger constrictors, easier to keep en-caged, easier to clean habitat, safer and much easier to feed in a built up neighborhood!........
Hmmmm, this one will get me into trouble, I can feel it already! Got many cats roaming free around your spot? lol!
Larger snakes are so easy,,,,
Beeep beep beep beeep beeeeep,,, Hello! is that the SPCA? Yes! I would like a cat for my pet... got any? lol!

P.s. Sorry, I don't like cats! They kill my birds around here, worst invasive specie known to man that is simply allowed to run a mock....

I also don't like cats at all. Read"hate" bloody things chase my birds in the aviarys till a young one sticks its head through the mesh and then they kill it. Bastards.

Made a few dissapear over the years.

Snakes. Jinne too many here in s tutt. Had to kill a big night adder in my nieces bedroom the other day. :fbash:fbash:fbash

NB! Remove hunting tips/head first!!! You dont want the shaft bouncing around a tiled kitchen until it hits something worthy of stopping it... Hmmm, perhaps also hang a plank in front of stove glass, microwave oven, fridge door etc etc.
TWAAAANG! Followed by an godly sound. Eish! I can feel trouble coming again...
Pffft, cats bring the worst out in me. lol

I dont shoot your pet fish, it is just that my wife and I do a lot of work with abused animals who have their eyes shot out or have their backs broken by people.

We were accused of being cruel, by shooting fish, so the argument went like this ( there was some artificial intelligence involved).

Imagine if you take an apple put a 12/0 hook in it attach it to line and cast it into a field while safely standing on platform, where the predators cannot get to you.

You then wait for a Kudu to pick it up and then strike and set the hook.

The kudu goes for its first run, but you stop it and you feel the kopstamp, as it bucks and tries to get the hook out of its mouth, but you reel it in a and as it gets to the platform, you stick a gaff in it and haul it onto the platform.

You either club it to death with a pacifier, or stuff it in a box with no air, so it suffocates, or even better, you hook it through the back with a bigger hook attached to a trace and and let it out to see if you can catch a lion. which you treat the same or release it.

Compare that to hunting with a rifle.
