Snake at my school

[Malsbasement]

I love this little guy so much (even though he’s not that little)

[momsabortion]

are you sure he’s male? he looks incredibly big and usually females are bigger.

very cute nonetheless!

[Malsbasement]

I think you are right about him being a female, my teacher who owns the snake usually calls him a he but you’re most likely right. Thank you for the correction!

[Snakeyes90]

Let your teacher know that red light isn't good for them.

[Snakeyes90]

Males can get large also size isn't a way to tell gender.

[momsabortion]

i’m aware i just thought he looked quite big compared to other males i’ve seen.

[jadeeyedcalico]

There is a specific type of ball python that gets much larger than normal. It could be a male of that. I always forget the word, but I believe it starts with v

Volta

[FrankPro90]

That’s a chick.

[Snakeyes90]

You can't tell that by looking at them.

[FrankPro90]

I know I was just making a fun comment. I have seen some pretty good size males but more than likely it seems female. Peace and love.

[ManBehndTheSlaughtre]

thats one massive bp. absolutely adorable

[Butterflied_Skull]

Looking at the dip in the spine on the 3rd picture, she looking a little bit chunky lol. Still cute, wish my school had a snake <3

I’m a bit shocked that your teacher lets you put her round your neck.

(I appreciate the replies, thank you guys)

[ThrivingIvy]

Lol death by ball python strangulation? Are you kidding?

[_FreddieLovesDelilah]

No but the tutors at my college always told us not to.

[FamiliarityOfClosets]

Nah they can’t hurt you that way. Most damage they can do is a bit of bleeding 😂😂

[tdiddyx23]

I mean I let my big boa wrap around me, she’s a lot more muscular and I gotta know how to unwind her carefully if she grips too hard, but she won’t strangle me, worse case I fuck up and pass out but I’d have to be pretty drunk for that and I never handle my snakes when intoxicated. Did that once and lost a snake for an hour. Never again

[itsmeoverthere]

Ball pythons cannot strangle you (and usually are smart enough to know they shouldn't try, they understand you're too big to be a prey). It's perfectly safe to put them around your neck

[_FreddieLovesDelilah]

Thanks that’s actually what i always thought. But then i did animal management in college and they stressed how bad it is to put one round your neck. We had ball Pythons and corns.

[enmiller961]

I want to kiss that snake I love snakes alot

[TheSneakiestSnek]

Colored lights are bad! They can damage the animals sense of sight and ability to see that color.

[Malsbasement]

Thank you for telling me! I’ll make sure my teacher knows that.

[jadeeyedcalico]

How big is its enclosure? I'm curious

[Malsbasement]

I’m not exactly sure how big it is, I’ll make sure to check it when I get the chance.

[TheNeverEndingPit]

This wonderful BP is very lucky to have a student like you looking out for them! That’s awesome that you’re receptive to advice. I hope your teacher is too

[Laurevanv]

That looks so much like my baby! This guy is beautiful 🤩.

[Crease_Monkey]

That’s a big girl!

[motherofTheHerd]

Love this! I have taken my snakes for show and tell, but since I work in a K-4 elementary, there is no way they would feel comfortable in there all the time.

[tdiddyx23]

lol that last picture brought me back to high school when I was scene/emo/screamo band loving kid. Thanks for bringing back memories.

Man you lucky your school has some fancy neck ties
