Lol. Nice looking pup, looks pit or maybe a dogo.

Haha Tank is badass.

Looks like a ball python, I had one of those

Lol The dog doesn't look to happy to be wearing the snake.

whenever i make tank sit and pose for the camera he puts on a sad look lol :)

My friend is not full of crap, sir. you have no clue what you are talking about. We were about 14 and she was holding the snake and he squeezed her hand and we heard a crack sound and had to go to the hospital. She had to wear a device for a month and half until her broken bone healed. That was just a 2 feet snake! I had snakes for many years but even though they were never larger than 3 feet they could sqeeze very hard.

Thats totally a ball python around the dog ;)

Well you friend must have had really f'd up fingers then. A 2 foot long snake cant break bones like that, for a snake to have the strength to break a bone like a finger it would have to be well over 2" thick and theres no way a snake that thick could easily wrap around a single finger. They RARELY even break the rib bones on the prey they eat. Unless they did something stupid like wack their finger against a table because they had a temper tantrun about a snake (sounds plasuable from they way you're talking). Snakes dont kill their prey be breaking bones, they just prevent the prey from being able to inhale. They dont break bones. Common sense?

NO idea if she had fragile bones or what, but I don't think so. She was just a kid. I don't think she got a broken bone after that and she's now near 30.

Maybe it was the way the snake held her hand, the position of her fingers, not sure. Anyway the crack was pretty loud and scary when you're 14 year old.

That was my pet snake and I had to bring the snake back to the pet store and give it back for free :( I was not allowed to keep a snake after that until I was much older and indenpendant.

Anyway that always left me with the impression that larger snakes would have great pressure enough to crush something.

:pound:

Although I admit I would not feel comfortable putting a snake around my dogs neck. Ironically though I've held a five foot python around my own neck and shoulders and my only thought was darn he's heavy!

Ya, ok. I've held snakes from 1 foot to 26 feet(at well over 200 pounds), all of them squeezed, and I just started at one end an unraveled them. No broken bones. I fed mice to 3 foot snakes, and no broken mouse bones snapping. So unless your friend has bones finer than mice, the snake did not break anything. I think sometimes we remember things from when we were 14 a bit different sometimes than the way they really happened. I'm not gonna argue about it, it didn't happen. go find a Herpetology forum and post the scenario, see what kind of answers you get.

Well the problem I see is that the snake is moving all over the floor, its enclosure and what have you. Potentially bringing carpet cleaners or other detergents from your home surfaces, into your tank.

Funny as hell, but I would move him.

I am not a big fan of pitbulls.... but this is a super cute picture. You can tell by his ears he is unsure of what the hell to think.... I would not try it with the 8' boa.... might be lunch.

Cute though.

Reefwars, I hope you understand that tonka is counting on you as pack leader to protect him.

why wouldnt he???

LOL! how can I remember something different when we went to the hospital, she had an X ray, showed a broken bone and then a splinter :)

YOu're funny :) I guess the bone broke on its own and the snake had nothing to do..probably it's the dense air around that broke it and we all imagined going at the hospital.

I don't care what any body will tell, that's simply what hapened. People once thought that the Earth was flat and you could get killed by pretending the contrary.

Cute picture of the dog!

Why wouldnt he think he isn't being protected? It's just a freaking 2 foot long snake?? Hell take a better look at the pic, can't u see there is someone behind him?
Most dogs don't let people put other animals on them without having trust. It also goes for dogs letting kids "ride" them. My lab pit x has the same look most of the time, unless there's food out lol. All I have to say is nice looking dog, nice looking snakes. But all this thread has turned into is fighting about "oh the snake this, the snake that" or oh that poor dog. Grow up people, everyone is different, reefwars was just showing a couple cute pictures. Get over it.

its true ,tonka is trained very well and he reacts very well to new animals be it a dog or a snake or a bird he has complete trust in me. as anyone can see in the picture clarence is behind on the incase that something was to go wrong even though the chances are very slim.


the snakes dont see dog as food so unless the dog was playing with mice it wont bite same as with a human.

if for some reason tonka was to tense up or panic and the snake did constrict its actually very easy to get him off by simply untieing him from the tail.they release easily when coached from the back



trust me guys no harm came to tonka or the snake and they were both watched very closely, they are never left alone and always monitored.

+1 agreed!
