Burmese Python

Burmese python swallows heating blanket...

"It's not your everyday foreign body," said Dr. Gregory Rich, the Metairie, Louisiana veterinarian whose 12-foot-long Burmese python patient swallowed the 3-foot-by-4-foot blanket in an attempt to eat a rabbit placed in its cage.

Now why would anybody want something that big - not for me!

this is the snake i saw in the pet shop....huge massive thing in a tiny viv.

see its the size of my head...the width.

Horrible - not nice, don't do tiddy snakes so something of this size is an absolute no go x

ughhh, big shivvers down my spine... ughhhhh! i cant bare snakes xx

With you on that one Jake!

These can grow much better and i think that they should be in a zoo .. to be honest there are people who have had them and lost there dogs or smaller animals .. dangerous creatures .x

ughh, an even better reason not to get one, they will eat poppy puppy xx

I could check an ex husband its way??

I could too Helen 2 of them the first one is a little on the skinny side .. so he could eat him first second one is slightly larger .. take him longer to digest ... ha ha x

my brothers girlfriend Lyndsey had a friend that had a friend that had a snake, she used to sleep with it and she noticed for a few nights the snake was lying straight like a ruler next to her, she found this strange and went to the vet and she found out that the snake was sizing her up to eat her!!!!!! :O :O xx

Don't care which order - as long as the snake is hungry!

What kind of snake was it Jake ?

a big one.. lol! im not to sure Lou, but i couldnt believe it!! xx

Now you see, I have another funny story - Tina who I know, had a big snake back in the days when they weren't really kept in vivs, no uv's etc, this snake used to live in her bedroom and she would chuck in a rabbit for it to eat - anyway, one night she noticed that it had stretched out alongside her bed - sizing her up to eat - sadly the snake passed away that night but rigor had set in and the snake was stiff as a board - they had to take out the living bedroom window to get the snake out of her room and then they had to bury the poor thing - their back garden was 12ft wide and the snake was 14 ft - ended up with two ft under the pavement - can you imagine digging that up!

haha - lucky and unlucky in one story xx

jake its a myth, coz ic heard the same story...
i asked what it eats and he said big rats and things he wouldnt like to say infront of the kids...so im thinking dogs?? cats?? chicken??

helen i love that story that makes me laugh.

I think they would eat more then that Tayer given the chance to be honest ..Helen how mad is your friend sleeping next to a 14ft snake sorry i wouldnt not for love nor money lol x

oh i dont know then, it might be a myth xx

I dont no Jake i think if they were that big they would be able to eat a human .. but who knows .x

Anaconda's can

hmmm xx
