Throw it is a heshen bag and drive it into the mountains and release it far away from human contact. When I catch the Tokgars I release them up around Kao Mai Goa and in the jungle as my wife won't let me kill them.Quote:

Where I live originally we were surrounded by about 50 rai or more of jungle and rice and stuff, as each area got developed we had to kill more and more snakes, I assume as in most developments the builders killed most of them, now I have nothing against snakes and think they look great in cages, but if they are in your house your only option is to kill them, there was no snake collecting number you could phone so they just got deaded :)
^^ You can of course say what you want about it but don't expect them to understand.
Why should they when we didn't?
In order to learn from a mistake, you usually have to do the mistake yourself..
What's wrong with a snake in the house? They're not all poisonous, you know?Quote:

The trouble is is in the finding out of whether they are poisonous or not, anyway, they are just an animal, much the same as some countries consider a burger is just a meal or snack.
^^
Sorry, missed that.
Can't have cods in the house, of course.
Nor a burger, quite right, DD.
I admit I aint the best at animal recognition but that sure weren't no cod, it may not have even been a Burmese Python, but it was a snake.Quote:

It may well be what you say it is, but it is just still food, lets say you live in your little wooden shack in the rice fields of Nakhon Nowhere with your 10 chickens, 2 pigs, 12 kids, 1 wife and a small wife, ie your a typical normal Thai person, then everyday you lose one of your chickens to a Burmese Python, hell lets say it is a green speckled albino python from Mars and its the only one on the planet earth, are you gonna give a toss how you cook it?Quote:

It's never going to happen, they will wait around 2 weeks between feeding.Quote:

Apparently the handlers drug the snakes with muscle relaxants so they don't put the clamp on unsuspecting punters.
Really JJ's neighbours are following exactly what their ancestors have been doing from the start of time. These people really would never consider the environmental aspect only and quite innocently just doing what comes naturally and without intentional malice.
I agree it is a crying shame but it has got to be the responsibility of the government and to educate these poor rural people about conservation and protecting the environment.
Will they? Do they know they are on a controlled diet so they don't become obese?Quote:

Burmese Pythons as Pets
Feeding: Burmese pythons are usually good eaters and care must be taken not to overfeed or you will end up with an obese snake. Hatchlings can be fed mice or fuzzy rats, moving up to rats and eventually rabbits as the snake grows (feed prey pre-killed). The prey should be no larger than the width of the snake. Hatchlings can be fed 1-2 times a week but adult snakes only need to be fed every 2 weeks or so. Feed often enough to maintain optimum body condition but be careful not to over feed as these snakes are prone to obesity.
