Yeah, some can like 25 yrs. One of my boa's is 18 yrs. old and my big Burmese Python (17 ft.) is 15 yrs. old and have a 6 ft. Salvator (Water) monitor lizard I've had for almost 19 yrs. old. He's tame as a dog . He weighs 45 lbs. The Python weighs over 200 lbs. !
LOL ! The snake is in a cage unless I let him out for exercise. My monitor lizard grew up with my dog and they got along fine. unless I left the dog food bowl on the floor. The monitor took over then. They were only one month apart. To this day the lizard doesn't fear dogs. He will lay out in my front yard sunning himself and when done crawl back in the garage and I'll put him in his cage. All the neighbors dig him. Some drive by real slow to see if he's in the yard. Maybe I'll post a pic.
The rattlesnake ? No, he's hot. Full venom sacks and fangs.
Ok, I will try to on Mon. but don't tell me you want to go monitor/lizard hunting wth you bow afterwards... LOL !
Lol!! I won't! I promise!!! I also promise to never attempt to bowhunt your rattler!
Less chance of dying from a rattler bite than a chimp ripping your face off. I think I mentioned I was bit a few years ago in my garage. Not by my rattler. In 17 yrs. he's never struck or even rattled at me. He doesn't fear humans I suppose. Had him since born and have handled him since. If he ever bit it would most likely be a dry bite and not invenomate. I've raised and handled reptiles for 45+ years. I've been bit by more dogs than snakes and lizards. The nieghbor's little POS Dacshund or how ever you spell it bit me on the knee a month ago and finally healed. If he wasn't around I'd of given the wiener dog to my python.
Well alright then...Lol!! I won't! I promise!!! I also promise to never attempt to bowhunt your rattler!
I thought she was pullin my chain just to chalk up a monitor with he bow...Reptile huntress !Put the bow down jen. You promised.
I'll send a video of the monitor in the tub and one of the python to my work pc. It's new and won't download the video.
