WoW kewl yea i have an old pic of her when i just bought her she was 4 ft long when i bought her... and could down a large rat with no problem...so this is a pic of her doing just that...she is bigger now...she could down a rabbit at her size now...but im still feeding her larger large rats and she seems to like them...she can get a lil skittish of her food sometimes LOL =P
Retics are actually one of my fav. next to rocks....but i saw Fade (thats her name) in a pet store and no one was buying her...not alot of people want to take on the commitment of owning an animal that can get over 25 ft long (although never seen one quite so big in captivity) and afrocks are known to have a nasty temperment at times...A Male afrock? thats awesome =) how old? length? Fade is getting near 8ft...she grows about 6 inchs a month now... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> so she probably will hit 10-11 ft and slow down. Do you have any pics of ur afrock? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I swear I remember someone else posting pictures of a snake called fade before.. I was that just you in another thread? In any case that's kinda sick but cool at the same time. Are the mice live? Do you just drop them in to run around and be eaten?
they are actually very large rats =P and yea i feed her live food because she was raised on live food and wont accept frozen food...and the rat doesnt get much time to run around...she will strike it and have it wrapped up sometimes before it can take one step when it hits the cage floor...if u never seen a large snake take down a meal its quite a sight =) and very fast...you literally can not blink or you would miss it =P
i might have posted about her a year ago...i havent trolled these forums since =/
here is a pic of an afrock in the wild...so u can get a better understanding of their size and power.
there are a few snakes that people consider giants...i listed them above....
Reticulated Pythons get the longest out of all of them. Anaconda's get he largest...they get real long too but compaired in width and weight to retics, anacondas are massive. Burms grow real fast and can get really long...ive seen one in captivity that was 27 ft long...they are the most common large snake people will own. African Rocks can get very large too...over 30 ft. they grow alot slower then burms. Although finding one so large in captivity is not very easy...=(
