 Can anyone identify the breed of this snake? I've never ran across one before. |

Really. My wife found it in the yard of one of our rental properties, in Montgomery, Tx. Guess somebody turned it loose.

Not trying to jack your thread. But I was wondering if it was true that the swamps of Louisiana and Florida are getting infested with Pythons and Anacondas. Thought some of the locals might know.

Not South Louisiana. Our winters are just a little to mild for them to survive. However, it is quite common for people to raise them as pets and when they get tired of them they turn them loose in the wild. They will live until the first freeze. |

i had one when i first started driving and thought it would be cool to take it to school with me. well it was a cold day and the snake crawled into the heater of the truck and wraped himself around the heater core. after school i couldnt find him anywhere. about 4 or 5 days later after school i opened my door and the smell about knocked me over. i guess when the truck warmed up the heater core cooked him. anyhow i got to take the dash apart and pull a 4 foot dead snake out. It smelled so bad i just dropped the tailgate and sat the snake on it and went for a drive to dispose of it. the next day at school a guy at school was bragging about killing a 5 foot copper head in front of his house i didnt tell him that i had slung a dead snake off turning around in his driveway  just a goofy story about my ball python  |

Yeah that's a Ball Python. Had to be someone's released/escapes pet, you don't usually just find those slithering around wild. Usually very docile snakes.

New it wasn't poisonous and thought is was a python just wasn't sure. Myles next time you see Cade "2KRanch" ask him about the one I tried to get him to help me catch. It had 14 rattles and a button.
