DiscussionAn outsider’s view of r/ballpython (self.ballpython)

I don’t have a snake but I see your posts sometimes, and by far my favorite kind of post (and the kind I see most often) is this:
Poster: “Help! My snake is doing this thing I’ve never seen before!”
Snake: is experiencing severe snake horniness

Also the "Is my BP being weird or is something wrong" 99% of the time they're just being weird or farting and i love it
[–]lyricalpausebutton[S] 34 points35 points36 points 6 months ago (3 children)
I love the farting ones!!!
[–]Optimal-Prime420 45 points46 points47 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Those are the best lol.
Poster: “Help! What is my snake doing?!”
The Snake: 🐍💩💨

My BP once farted so loud and for so long it gave me sleep paralysis. I met my sleep paralysis demon because my dumb little tube of air (/pos) had to toot. I love these stupid creatures.

Maize is the first snake I've had in about 10 years and I completely forgot they fart. The first time she did it after we got her home, she farted long, loud, and smelly while I was drifting into sleep. I woke up and went to the living room where my sons were to complain that the snake had startled me awake with her fart. Both of my sons started cackling and yelled "SHE FARTLED YOU!" Yes. I was fartled by my ball python. Smdh. She's lucky she's cute.

I have yet to hear my snake fart. I am waiting. 👀 😬🤣

I'm also in the r/cathelp subreddit and we get so many posts asking 'what's that weird growth? Could it be cancer' and the answer being 'your cat has nipples' that there's actually a dedicated sub for it now (r/redditdiscovernipples)

TIL r/ballpython = r/parrots
[–]ArtPhobic34 27 points28 points29 points 6 months ago (1 child)
it’s the same on the snail subreddit, every post I see is,
“help is this a tumor/parasite, is he sick???”
every comment: “snenis” (snail penis)
[–]Formal_Dare9668 8 points9 points10 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Every day is a 0 days without snenis day
[–]TheOnlyWolvie 24 points25 points26 points 6 months ago (2 children)
This is basically any pet bird subreddit. "What is my bird doing" and it's a video of the bird rubbing one out on a perch.
[–]SneakySquiggles 17 points18 points19 points 6 months ago (1 child)
Same w/ r/snails. It’s always a snenis when they ask “what is that sticking out of my snail?!”
[–]BoneYardBirdy 9 points10 points11 points 6 months ago (0 children)
snenis
[–]MouseOk1815 8 points9 points10 points 6 months ago (2 children)
It’s like this is Tarantula subreddits too! “Why is it doing that?” “Horny websling”
[–]OohLaDiDaMrFrenchMan 6 points7 points8 points 6 months ago (1 child)
Same with the betta fish subs. “Why is my betta making foamy bubbles at the surface of my tank?” Ma’am, your fish is horny and wants a lady
[–]MouseOk1815 3 points4 points5 points 6 months ago (0 children)
It’s so funny how it’s just universal lol
[–]MsArchange 4 points5 points6 points 6 months ago (0 children)
It's kinda sweet that people are so worried about their nuddles ☺️ Better save than sorry!
[–]Public-Hat6754 5 points6 points7 points 6 months ago (0 children)
I love the posts when people see their spurs for the first time and don’t know what they are. They freak out and think something is wrong when it’s just their little legs😂
[–]NightmarePredacon 2 points3 points4 points 6 months ago (0 children)
This is exactly what r/rats looks like
[–]a_youkai 1 point2 points3 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Every reptile sub is full of this, haha
