I hate those things. Every once in a while i hear a story about someones snake escaping and being loose in thier house. Never for the life of me could understand why someone would bring one of those things into thier home. Constrictors and poisonous ones no less

Constrictors are typically not poisonous. Why do people have pets at all? Dogs are meant for hunting and such so they have a use but a pet? Some people keep birds. They are dirty and noisy. I HATE spiders but my daughter wanted a tarantula when she was 7 so we had one for 3+ years. I have had a python for over 30 years. It's gotten out a couple of times way back when but we always found it and it's not BIG, only like 4ft.

My favorite pets were my piranhas.

Never had piranhas but the bar down the street has several and some pretty big...
My daughter had a zoo growing up. Neighbor kids use to come over with her because they didn't believe her and would say she is a lair until they saw them.
We had 2 large Iguanas, 2 horned lizards, 1 tarantula, 1 ball python and she also had a mess of pet rats. The rats I didnt like but they provided substance for the snake.

My piranhas grew to about 12 inches. I had two in the same tank - bad idea. Came home one day and there was one big bloated piranha, not two. Lol.

I've often wanted an iguana. I hear they can grow upwards of 18 feet? What is their disposition like? Are they aggressive?

If you dont handle them enough yeah they get a little testy and you have to watch out for the tail. They dont like to come back in from outside on a nice hot day. 18ft???? Never saw one that bit and I have seen a lot in the wild. Sounds more like a monitor lizard or Komodo Dragon. My daughter actually had a baby Komodo Dragon for a while.

Actually, the piranha that survived used to let me pet him/her along the dorsal fin. I never took my eyes off of it. At feeding time it went nuts for live fish.

Wow, a Komodo? That would be crazy awesome but isn't their saliva littered with dangerous bacteria?

Muscleink hit MM13 up for the answer. She's the subject matter expert.

Constrictors aren't poisonous at all. Unless you somehow get an infection from bacteria in their saliva. Tarantulas are creepy as hell, I've had my ball python get loose a few times that was a pain in the butt let alone a tarantula haha. I've got a 156lb presa canario that is larger then my girlfriend and yes it works well when hunting. Also the best dog I've ever owned as a family pet.
