I have a giant burmese python for a pet (18 feet long). Recently it's been laying next to me in bed...?

Question

It's only happened recently, I lost a bunch of weight and now I'm down to 175, and 5'10. (Always obviously been 5'10) I've woken up at night a couple times and he's been wrapped around my lower legs, and his snout bumps into my feet. Once I was woken and saw it's mouth yawning in front of my toes. Is this unusual, or does it just like me?

Answer 1

It isn't really advisable to let a snake this large sleep with you since they can kill humans. Even if you are too big to eat, there is a risk there. But your snake is probably just getting near a good heat source- You!. Especially if you use the A/C to keep your house particularly cool. Either way, it would probably creep me out- like he is sizing you up compared to his jaws!

Regardless, I would put him in an enclosure at night.

Answer 2

Dude if you are for real get it the heck out of the bedroom!!  He is trying to eat you!!  If not good joke on us all.

Answer 3

The python is a consrictor and no matter how tame and gentle he may be he will always have those insticts. He could strangle you any night not really meaning harm, it's just an instinct. PUT HIM IN A CAGE AT NIGHT!

Answer 4

nah,its not unusual,they love to eat

Answer 5

You are crazy to let that snake loose at night while you sleep.  You may not wake up in the morning. Good Luck!!!

Have a great day!!!
