I definitely look forward to owning another snake, and I would like another ball python, the natural design of the scales are so beautiful and the thickness of the snake and its strength is quite surprising.

That is excellent, it gave me a good chuckle. I still have a small fear of snakes I am not familiar with because of not knowing how they'll react to me so I can understand the feeling.

Anaconda keeps other snakes away (actually eat them), especially venom snakes, and it would pretend to be a guard dog at the entrance. Although this guard "dog" doesn't do its job very well, and would only bluff. When an officer came to check on the soldiers, all he needed to do is to just keep walking and the snake would get out of the way lol.
That's an awesome story, I think I might try to raise a gaurd snake for my mother's farm as long as it doesn't eat the sheep, actually, that's probably a bad idea... Large snakes loooove them some sheep.
