I had two reticulated pythons. Best pets ever. One tried to eat my Doberman it was so fierce. Sadly the little one ( 6.5ft ) died of pneumonia but I had George ( who every wit called 'Monty' ) for some time and he grew to 14.5ft. Sadly due to his sheer bulk I could no longer take him to the pub, that and having to source live piglets for his food meant I had to get rid of him. He still resides in Chester Zoo some 15 years later.
Oh and I really think he started to look on me as dinner too.
Science:// Retics are officially the longest snake in the world and considered the most bad tempered of constrictors. They also eat human beings.

problem seeing insects as anything other than something to feed the lizards. No offence meant. Each to his own of course.

nose slicing it right open. It was his own fault, I'd told him to leave George alone countless times. George was just minding his own business on the stairs ( all of the stairs ) but Maximilian wanted to play. Only trouble was I had a brand new green regency suite delivered and Max bounced off every wall howling like a loon whilst spurting blood everywhere.
Science. Dobermans are the dumbest dogs ever. Only superceded in dumbness by me because I have another one now ( after my rottweiler died a few years back ).

i had a doberman briefly, as a child.
parents' friend bred them, and we got a nice chocolate brown doberman puppy.
unfortunately, the brown ones are sickly types and it died two months later

and any of my science facts should never be taken as read. That's 100% of Fact.
They are dumb dogs though. My Rotty was the cleverest dog I've ever known and had a massive understanding of vocabulary. My current dog seems to understand 'walkies' 'din'dins' and 'what the fuck are you arrrrrggghh'. Anything other than that is met with the standard head tipped to one side 'wtfayboa' look.

I'm really impressed and kind of envious, but I think that you've proven my point for me...
Rats would probably be my second favourite pet next to cats if they lived to be ten or eleven instead of dying just as soon as you're really attatched to them, so I may not be the best judge of cold blooded pets.

are just a food animal. They both were on dog rats for years and I got used to bashing their heads over a table before feeding to stop them biting the snakes. It's when they get big enough for rabbits and pigs it gets harder.
Cats I would not have in the house, not even to feed to the snakes.
