I've seen at least one video where a snake of similar size manages to depress a door handle and gets it to open, although that might've been lucky coincidence.

As for my own snakes, they definitely grasp the concept of a sliding door and how its mechanics work, since they try to get it open regularly. That's why they sell locks for those.

This one? The THUD it makes cracks me up every time.

What kind of snakes are these? They are so cool. I would never be able to have one, I would be terrified and I’m sure my dog and cat wouldn’t be very amused either. It’s incredible to me that people are willing and able to live with a snake that big.

Burmese Python. I think the one in the video and in the OP are the same one - do a search for Julius the Python and you can find a decent amount of info. There’s an AMA from her owner on that other site.

It’s really cool to me that there is a pet snake with internet cred, what a world, thank you, I’m going to go try to find some videos and read up on his story. Such a big boy and so yellow. I love it, even more because he can’t eat me over the internet.

Big girl come to find out. I assumed Julius was a male name.

I think snakes are one of those animals that can be difficult to identify their sex, so they can get stuck with a name that may not match.
