Margwar Again

Couple of Margwar I took today

Wow that is stunning i'm not a great snake fan but his beauty cannot be denided

You wouldn't say that if you could see him up close, he's had a couple of bad sheds and his scales are looking a bit scabby, he's 10 years old, so basically he's looking like a bit of an old man

have you been biten by margwar?

I haven't, Leaim has. A case of mistaken identity, Margwar thought Leaim's hand was a mouse.

scary!!!

lol Na, he's only a wee-un, he's 4 and half feet and only weighs 1500g, he's not big enough to do any kind of serious damage, we're looking at a bigger snake, it'll be somewhere between 4 feet and 5 and half, and could weigh as much as Molly does now, so 18kg ish.

snakes freak me out really bad sometime have to look away when they are on tv

I never really used to like any kind of reptiles, but kinda just fallen in love with them again.

what type python is margwar?

Oh he looks big to me very nice but they scare me

He looks a lot bigger than 4' 6", but I suppose that's just the photo.

I can appreciate the beauty of snakes, but I wouldn't want one myself.

Oh wow stunning

He's a Royal or Ball Python, the English call them Royals, and the Americans call them Ball, when they get scared they tend to curl up into a tight ball.

It is just the photo, my mum said the same, below is one of me holding him, yes I am struggling, he was pulling against my hands, and I was laughing as well, over all not a very flattering photo of me there lol

Oh, I don't know, I thinks it's a very nice pic!

It does look kinda strong, though!

i would do a runner if i saw that....... where are the Royal Python from?

Jesus I was gonna say that, its huge, stunning but huge!!!!!!

He's as Claire said, from Africa, they live in the savannah and in grasslands.

We're treating him to a rat tonight!

do you give him live or dead rats?

i just been watching videos on youtube there alot of people give their royel python live rats.

Dead, it's dangerous to feed live rodents. The rodents can end up seriously injuring the snake if they get away. We defrost them and warm them up a bit before dangling it in front of his face.

o right

Eeuuwwwwww!!!
