Interesting. I wonder why he is so accepting?

Oh duh - already been posted. Sorry Craig.

I *actually* did look down the titles and couldn't see any snake or hamster looking titles. Never mind.

Fair point. But still

Maybe the snake has gone vegan. First it's the frozen mice, now he's turning down nice fat hamsters...

[Katahu]

Notice that the hamster was happily named Gohan [go-hawn]. In America, that name reminds us of the anime character "Gohan" in Dragon Ball Z.

Maybe the snake was afraid that Gohan might do his Kamehameha move on him if he tried.

I once saw on Animal Planet a lioness that had befriended a little  (less than 1 month old) Oryx calf....and the entire relationship lasted for 15 days...the lioness was a lonely individual and the Oryx calf probbaly got left behind by it's herd....the ending of the relationhip was very sad....an angry lion just stalked the little Oryx calf....very sad....but the amazing thing is that the lion adopted 5 other calf's after that relationship....but none lasted longer....2 died, 1 ran away, and 2 were re-united with their parents....really amazing

yeah there is a link on the same page to that lioness.

My friend back in CT had a reticulated python that was at least 18 feet long.

One day he told me to grab a rabbit and feed Max. I went to the rabbit pen, grabbed the big black one and threw it into the cage. He is pretty shy, so therefore he wouln't eat with others in the room, went downstairs and waited for that "SLAM BANG" to come from upstairs. Nothing........nothing.......  My buddie askes,"You didn't give him the black one did you?" "Yep" "Well you have to get it out of there and give him one of the white ones. You could leave him in there until it died from old age or fright."

Holy crap, reach into the cage with a hungry 18 foot snake??????? "Don't worry, he won't bit you" LOLOLOLOLL OK  :o

So I did, didn't get bit but I sure was sweating, and I was ready to QUICKLY pull my arm away if I saw ANY movement! Ya right, that would be like trying to dodge lightning.

Well it was really cool, speaking of lightning, I waited and waited until he struck that fucker and wrapped up in a great big hug. He moved so fast, it was like lightning.
