why do you have to lie that it was about to attack you? The ball python is the most docile and very shy breed of python, can't even eat big things. just finding an excuse to cook it.

Jakumo:
This snake is an African Ball Python, and they are by nature very docile, meaning they NEVER strike at anything larger than the mice they eat.

Either the gentleman who posted this story lost in a fantasy world of grand heroics, or he is puny enough to have been mistaken for a mouse.

nice world play..you should watch big bang theory..

You dare not lay your hands on them in Anambra state.
They are not deadly!

such a peaceful creature.

i smell lies, ball pythons are shy, they arent aggressive. so for it to attack you, is a blatant lie.

dollyjoy:
Hope you used it to prepare a nice meal?

Lalasticlala see your food ooo

i'd rather capture it and keep it as a pet. they are quite beautiful.

Lala junior

No nah...this is not a snake. Why did you kill it? Its a Python. Like the species in Njaba, Imo State. Eke Njaba.

U must bury it like a human being. Give it three day full burial rites.

Chai...I dey vex now

Baroba:


If you are going to eat a snake; skin, eviscerate before cooking it..It looks like a young python, it could be a puff adder ( might be wrong) the skin texture and coloration looks different though..

Its most likely a Python. Njaba species. Njaba is in Imo State. Though the tail end that tapered suddenly and is short suggests puff adder but the body coloration, plumpness gives it away as a Python.

Some parts of Anambra also has that species and holds it sacred too.

OP where did u kill it? I mean state or locality? I really feel bad cos of what you did. I think you mistook whatever it did as an attack. Its a very gentle animal.

I'm so sad!

Really @ African Ball Python. Thanks. I haven't heard that before.

I guess the name is from the behaviour of the Python when u touch it. It usually curls up like the millipede resembling a 'ball'. As kids then, we will stick in a pole inside the curl and carry it off. When we throw it away, we threw away the pole too. Because it is said, if you go back with the pole, the Python will return.

Its a very gentle animal. Goes for mice and other rodents. Sometimes chicken eggs laid out in its reach. So Op its either you are too small or wanted to entice Lala. Or you mistook whatever it did as an attack.

We also have a song for it.

We are Njaba people. Its sacred.

Though my tender feelings towards it now its not cos of the supposed sacredness but because its such a gentle animal. I abhor animal brutality.

Op u must accord it a befitting burial rites oooo

africanusvu:
1.This is wat we cal Eke idemili.or ajuani.it is neva a violent nor poisonous snake.it only feed on rodents like rats and lizard.thats why it is always seem around homes pursuing rats.this is d type most african vilages revere and worship due to its gentle and non violent nature.it is cald dif names at dif places.

You're right. We call it eke Njaba

AreaFada2:
@OP

This is royal python. That rolls into a ball (ball Python) when in danger, for safety.

Not really aggressive. Did it sense a rat or mouse near you?

Maybe Op third leg was on the move.

Ademolu2002:

It's called manamana in my dialect (Ibarapa). It's more active at night but you can pick it by hand in the day time. Very muscular and sweet snake.

Yes u can pick with your hand. But bro...no eating. Do not kill

Well, maybe I will look closely next time if I have the time. Sorry this has gone already. Location is Akure

Lol. Who knows. This happened at night bro! So it's very difficult for me to know the species and can't wait till it strikes before I make a move. I'm not a animal scientist to know if it's a non venomous snake species. If I had the chance, will look closely next time. Sorry this one don go o
