May I ask you a question?I met a few days ago in Bali a man , almost an aborigene, who raises pythons.He had 3 huges pythons in his house and he told me that he is used to give meat to his snakes.Dead meat like the meat we buy in the supermarket not meat from living animals.He said that eating only dead meat, the snakes will be more tame...Do you believe that??
Talking about snakes, in northern Thailand they use to serve on the restaurants snake soup and snake barbecue.And in Corea people like very much to eat dogs.That custom was very critized during the last World Football Cup by the western visitors!!

PPS YES!!!!The French show is just like Survivor.

Haha so would I. I guess people on this forum would be bias because we love iguanas. There is a show in America called Survivor where they have to fend for themselves, they were eating rats for protein and I am sure that people that had
:rats for pets were very disturbed. I watched a special on a country where they ate iguanas and they talked about it like people in America eat cows.
:I have a ball python and it really upsets me that people eat snakes, but I have to respect it
:because its cultural differences. I think its all gross, but every country varies on what is socially acceptable to eat.
:I have heard rumors of people feeding their reticulated pythons puppies!! I think this is awful but on the otherhand rats and mice should be just as valued.

:Off the topic but a couple of weeks ago I wrote a post asking for advice in the next step to trying to bond with my friends iguana and you reccomended gloves. Well today, I actually touched him for like 20 seconds!! I was so excited.
:But I tricked him, I was misting him and as soon as he closed his eyes I started to pet him. When he opened his eyes he saw that it was me and moved away! :((
:haha oh well, gotta keep trying.
