ShiftyBat
Looks like he could use a tiny hat.
MedicSolidarity
Good snek probably a lost or abandoned pet with how docile it is.
AndrewBuggy
Well I hope you're in South East Asia because that's a Reticulated Python. Can get very big with nasty tempers.
rustyroo1
Leave it there and you’ll one day find it around your neck.
ThePretentiousGentleman
It’s a reticulated python, the longest python in the world. This one is a baby obviously.
genetichybrid5772
Yup .. I think a few months old ...
harmsebamse
Darn, he keeps winning the staring contest
SonGokuAttorneyAtLaw
That's the angriest hug i've seen in a while.
genetichybrid5772

Daszil
Reticulated pythons are so pretty.
rukeman
I hope you mean the guy holding the snake.
Sergio1d
Australia or Florida?
genetichybrid5772
Neither... somewhere in Asia
ApatheticApoplecticEpilepticAlopecic
Why is it petting you?
genetichybrid5772
Nature .. ???
Jacksforehead

NotTinyPancakes
Seems friendly can't be wild surely? don't know nothin bout snakes though my contry don't have em.
genetichybrid5772
This one is .. it’s a protected species .. I can’t keep them ..
1metalnation
Reticulated python, captive bred are super docile
SomethingOtherThanMyRealName
That anaconda don't want none.
BioGoji1989
That's not an anaconda. That's a python.
TrickyChlovers
But I have some buns for it

arKittenCat
I was going to say - Move...but it actually looks kind of cute?
ILoveSpicyPeople
Where does one live where you find a python on your house?! Florida?
berserk
Most of the northern and eastern coasts of Australia. They are only looking for food..(small rodents, frogs etc), shelter and warmth.
genetichybrid5772
Asia
ILoveSpicyPeople
What part?
Cadaver3rd
It's so cute!
Ahnmik
What a cute little baby! He's being so calm.
CosmicGastropod
If you really did find it I will you be keeping it? If you do please do your research on care needs. If not make sure you give it to 1/2
J0765
They only get about 30 feet.
genetichybrid5772
Can’t keep it even if I wanted to ... it’s a protected species .. I have to release it .. ??
J0765
Highly illegal. That’s a morph, they don’t exist in the Ed.
CosmicGastropod
Someone who will provide proper care. 2/2
OperationM1ndcrime
Or set it loose??
genetichybrid5772
I have to set it loose .. it’s a protected species
KaoruVanity
If its Florida, no. They are a highly invasive species down there.
AD0uble
J0765
That is not a Boa. Tiger reticulated python. They don’t exist in the wild.
Uttabutta
This isn't a tiger or any other visual morph.
genetichybrid5772
They do where I’m from
EntariAdun
Looks more like a constrictor than a venemous snake, so that's good. Still best to be careful, but I can't blame you for picking it up!
genetichybrid5772
Couldn’t help myself ... lol

ShipOfFate
He’s planning your murder.
genetichybrid5772
Haha.. too little for that mate ..
southernpeach
Cutie
cooplander
Mate? Yeah, an Australian would have to be pretty chill around snakes.
genetichybrid5772
I’m Not Aussie ??
Beardedagentman
He's playing the long con.
StarscreamAndHutch
I see what you did there.
uxurd
Red tails are such cuties. They get a little on the large side tho
Herperchick
Thirding the retic ID. Although i agree red tails are adorable having one myself.
ThePretentiousGentleman
That’s a retic.
uxurd
Ok. Looks alot like my redtail. But im deffinatly no expert
ThePretentiousGentleman
They have some similarities but the orange parts and the head shape give it away for me. Worked with both pretty closely at a zoo once.
uxurd
I havent handled a retic myself
ThePretentiousGentleman
They’ve got a lot of personality. My personal experience has been Boas are chill fat dudes, Retics are thin and squirmy.
prrrkitten
Mine was 9 ft when we had to put her down. She had quite the personality
Foire
Bummer to hear, but sounds like you have good memories with her.
prrrkitten
I had her for 11 years! I used to carry her around in my shirt pocket. Her last container was the size of a twin mattress. Ah memories!
Foire
Heck yeah! :D They sure do love spaciousness, and high places. That's a nice 11 years shared!
SalvalecRhaplanca
That's a really pretty reticulated python. Also, that's a fucking reticulated python?
genetichybrid5772
Yeah ???
loutreurbaine31415
Isn't t that species a common one sold in exotic pet store ? I think a college friend had one like this
genetichybrid5772
No .. that’s a ball python .. in Malaysia there’s no license for this snake ..
Zahnradfee
How did it get into your house? Is it native to where you live? What are you doing with it? It's really friendly. Very cute. Much snek. Wow.
genetichybrid5772
It got lost I guess .. i saw it when I was walkin in my house .. it is native ... I’m from Malaysia .. it’s a common snake ..
Zahnradfee
So, you brought him outside again? He's really friendly. Unexpectedly. But maybe this species generally is, I don't know.
genetichybrid5772
When I took him in my hands the firs time I was careful ..I wore thick gloves ... when I saw it was not defensive I took off the gloves.....
genetichybrid5772
Btw I’m releasing it today in the mornin ... and I posted the last vid on him .. check it out .. ?
genetichybrid5772
Yeah I took him out thinking he would slither away ... guess not ??
SnarkyRedcoat
Florida? That’s just a baby though, a gorgeous baby but still, with proper food and space to grow it’ll dispose of kids for you.
l0calh0st
Or dispose of you for kids, you never know.
Pwnzistor
And small yappy dogs.
DundeeAxeDog
Sorry to add the 70th upvote
SnarkyRedcoat
Someone had to do it
Ahnmik
No reticulated pythons in Florida. OP is probably in SE Asia.
Philosopherott
None? No one has released them?
floydz69
Or lying...
MastrBaker
And your first thought was to pick it up?!?
Ahnmik
It's a harmless juvenile reticulated python. I would totally pick it up too.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
Aww, he's a little guy!
rhmrcScifiBandit
Why was this man in your snake house?
GasMaskedGaming
Snek is soft fren
thinkstopthink
Of course. I suggest you know your snakes first, though.
fakieflip180
Thats why you need to know your local venomous snakes. Actually better to practice on Non ven. Snakes as they tend to fight more.
genetichybrid5772
Exactly
StrangePoster
Picking up any wild snake isn't smart. It distresses them if they haven't been regularly handled since birth.
suckmyawesome
You may be shocked to learn about the hobby of herping.
tooomanystevesgotbanned
It's only a python, you wuss.
qPRdxH4UXm36HS9rJgLA
I love snakes so I picked it up to admire it. Then it turned back into Loki and stabbed me.
KerrookCake3000
Didn't know Thor lurked on imgur...
w1n5t0ns
Loki actually just does this to anyone who wishes to admire snakes, helps him to pass the hours.
BioGoji1989
Dude, it's a constrictor. No need to worry about venomous bites.
MiniSchrader
Since they have no venom, once/if pythons realize you’re not going to eat them they get pretty chill.
genetichybrid5772
With a glove .. couple hours later he warmed up to me ..
Shiki487
Looks like he's warming up WITH you as well
SecondToNine
It takes that long because he's cold blooded
sharkwaffle
Just reading the way you typed this makes me think you're australian
IAmEhEhRon
Do you live in their normal habitat? Or is that someone's lost friend?
ddet1207
Lost friend. Reticulated pythons are native to SE Asia.
Cutwail
Op is from Malaysia.
Snickt
The like body heat so...
eggmuffin
What a bizarre experience that must be for a snake.
OperationM1ndcrime
AND let you pet him on the head!
OperationM1ndcrime
Very abnormal. I've had several pythons and it has taken them quite a while yo trust me enough to pet their heads...

BurmGirl37
No it’s not, it’s a retic.
sheanar
You gonna keep him?
MastrBaker
Well then free snake, seems kinda sweet actually.
Archeron
You just have to be careful because wild reptiles can carry many parasites
kaegro
That's one of many good reasons to take em to the vet - they can tell you if they're invasive and get medicine if you're gonna keep em
Archeron
Wild caught reptiles also have a tendency to not thrive. If you're actually looking for a pet, it's better to get something captive bred.
