The snake has the color and markings of a Reticulated Python. They can be very aggressive and have a very nasty bite.

Post by: Crewella on December 14, 2011, 04:54:37 AM: Awwww......... most retics have much prettier markings than that - they've bleached the colours out! I agree, the head looks right - I have a very soft spot for reticulated pythons! :D

Post by: Crewella on December 14, 2011, 10:19:38 AM: He was actually about to shed there - he looked even better with a fresh skin! He wasn't mine - I used to rescue and rehome reptiles and I had him for six months in my big tank (which was still too small, really) whilst we found him a proper home that could house him. I wouldn't handle him alone in the house, he was a friendly soul, but you just don't take chances when they're that size!

He'd have swallowed a Pleo no problem! :-X :P
