Snakes

Anybody out here in web land own a snake, Im sure some of you do but im to lazy to read through the treads. Any ways my dad and uncles got a 160 acres of land in upper wisconsin here and going up there since I was a kid Ive always liked catching shit. Most I see are small grass snakes and gardeners. My Plan is to catch a really big ass one and just throw it in a tank lol. Im aimn for a Pine snake as they are bigger and fuckn cool and non poisoness.

Check your local laws concerning collection of wildlife. Most states require a permit to keep wild animals as pets. What do you plan to feed your wild-caught snake? Do you think it will even take food? You may find that it is too scared to eat. Garter snakes do seem to adapt okay to captivity. They like earthworms and crickets. You've got to understand the needs of an animal before keeping it as a pet.
Have you looked into a baby snake from a pet store that was raised in captivity? These make better pets because they are used to human contact and will be perfectly content to be handled and fed by a human.

Ive had several pet snakes before so im Im not worried about the law reguarding this situation. I plan on putting it in a nice 100 gallon tank with some foilage and vegatation. AND I KNOW all about the animals needs as I didnt say I didnt. I plan on feeding it mice and gerbals from the pet store. If it dosnt eat Ill just releace it where I found it. Usally we would just kill pesty critters like these because they litterly get into everything up there and damage stuff but Im lookn to nabbn one.

usually guys like you find the wrong snake and get bitten by a copper head or water moccosin ,so be carefull.
ive been to the sweetwater round up and those people are crazy as hell.those snakes,we callem bull snakes, eat rodents and are very usefull and i grew up learning to leave them alone because they kept the rats from chewing up saddles and tack.
and just because its not posinous dosent mean a bite wont make you deathly sick,think about what they put in their mouths, although the worst non poisinous bites come from a human , we have nasty mouths full of bacteria. ususally they will die within a week cause wild dont do captivitypet snakes and wild are two totally different worlds,but hey you can try.

Na man is cool, I use a net and a y stick. I only would grab innocent ones like grass, gardners or copper bellies.

I have a lil ring neck that was found early last march in a walk in cooler after a flood. :)

Hes (or she i guess!) is my boy! I love my bocephus, fiesty as that lil thing is.

"guys like me" dont have to worry about watermacosins because I live in wisconsin as I stated, and there are no water macosins this far north.

I'm Cool with it as long as you know how to take care of them.I have to Colombian Boas.

They scare me! Can't hear um comin usually, almost stepped on a few. Live in Mojave Green land and have seen bad bites from people playing with them or best yet-getn stoned and betting each other who is fastest, the snake or u and guess who ends up in ER? Guess it is O.K. to keep, so long as you know what you are doing. But don't they kill just about everything in that state--lots of hunters, I think! and they even kill each other, by accident. What about the Snappn turtles, got one of those too!

I just bought a Royal Python from Petco Last week. Snake and its stuff was about $230.00 . Its a really beautiful snake. Its pretty gentle and hasnt bit me yet. I fed it for the first time last night, one of those frozen mice, It snatched that shit right up. I love how its goona last 30+years with good care. Deffiently going to get another one, maybe a burmeese or ritic.
