PD: the marsh serpent, not in that area now

Public Test Realm. Where Blizz allows you to test the upcoming software changes.

I'm 99% sure that these were tamable at some point in the beta test for Cataclysm, and were made not tamable before release. I would assume that something they did to the PTR client made them tamable again and no doubt it's a bug and will be changed before the PTR client is published to live realms... I hate being a party pooper though, I wish they were tamable, all the snakes of that model should be IMO.

Those were DIFFERENT snakes though and they turned into Coyotes. There's NO Pythons or Snakes ANYWHERE in uldum afaik, live.

So either A: These are INTENDED snakes, to be put into the serpent family or hell possibly a new family called Python and perhaps a different skill/tree, or B: these are placeholder mobs like the other snakes evidently were because I've not seen a marsh python/serpent live ingame O_o

I do think there are some in Uldum that aren't tamable on live, these guys are new tho, but whether or not these are intended to be kept as hunter pets is unknown. Personally I would love to see a python family ^_~

Uldum DOES have python model snakes....not tameable but they hang out with the armadillos in southern Uldum.

You think maybe they are just testing out this new model of serpent so we have more than one? Thats why its just this new snake and not any other pre-existing NPC, thats what I think anyways

Are these tamable right now or na?

Only in PTR.

Ah... so wen patch release i could tame ... hopefully i get lucky:D

*Prays to the Blizzard Pet Gods and their patron saint, Noah the Lurker* Please please please! keep these pythons tamable when the patch goes live, and maybe make other python-style snakes tamable too! We've been good!

Weren't these snakes tameable WAY far back in a time far far away? But Blizz just took away the ability to feed them because they decided not to let people have em?

Those were the white cobras, the Sandfury Guardians. And they were returned to us as 'serpents' many months later. These are an entirely new Kettle O' Fish.

What I mean is I vaguely remember something about the pythons in Wailing Caverns specifically being tameable and then taken away, years ago.

eerm...they still tameable on ptr? were close to a month further now

Unfortunately, no. They removed the tameability with the very first 'cleanup' build.
