You're so sure, but you've never sliced up a snake. And you don't seem to have the heart to do what I'd do to an animal trying to take my life.
Now you are putting words in my mouth. Never once did I say that all one needed was a knife. Nor did I question you when you offered info about the snake care and knowledge of it's signals. Why? Because I agreed with those statements, and had nothing more to add to them.116;2168092; said:Now, I, being an owner of a large snake that is very capable of killing me, am sharing my advice and experience. It's better to take the steps to avoid the situations you and hduece are describing. I'm trying to describe these steps to you, but you are insisting that rather than being trained and prepared to handle a constrictor, you should simply arm yourself with a sharp object and count your lucky stars?
Hdeuce;2168111; said:this argument has been stretched on and distorted because of your inability to accept that it is okay to act in self defense. I bet if a human being was trying to kill you you wouldnt have a problem acting violently against them. but taking violent action against an admittedly undomesticatable animal is unthinkable.
