Hey, Fang looks like a green Mamba, I'd be a little leary too!

I just recently got back into det'n, always enjoy the suspense. Kinda like deep saltwater fishin' You never know what you're gonna pull up.

Welcome suwannee pirate,

Did it taste like Chicken ?

Just Kidding Cool Snake.

 

[FredMaxwell]

I wonder if he would pose for an airbrushed likeness of him on the Jeep

 

[suwannee pirate]

They only taste like chicken if you roll then in feathers and deep fry em.Actually I keep them in my treasure hunting room so my wife won't see all of the detectors.No ..really I trained that one to go in caves and check for other snakes. Thanks Bob

Love the snake. I have a friend who keeps diamond pythons and a boa. I love playing with them. Beautiful green colouring! Great detecting partner too.
Cheers Angela

Welcome to the forum. And nice pet. But why do you call him Fang?
Glad to have you on board. HH

NOooo Diamond Jim I don't believe that you can train a snake . You can study them and learn their habits and reactions and handle them accordingly. I have handled them for a long time and don't trust them ,sometimes I get real close but I know what mode that they are in . A Florida Indigo will kill or run off any other snake in the area including the rattle snakes. They are highly protected now so you can't put them in areas that you like to go and not be bothered by rattlers . I have 3 or 4 Indigo adults on this 20 acre patch I'm on . Young are relocated occasionaly to other areas.
RVBvetter;the reason I call her fang is that she is an EmeraldTree Boa ,spends her whole life in the canopy waiting for a bird to fly by.She has huge long fangs to puncture the feathers on parrots. The strike faster than most snakes and can give a nasty bite . So I call her Fang so I don't forget what she is no matter how much she buddies up to me .Wonderful pet ,everybody should have a pair. Thanks Bob
