Snake On The Loose

[Jillaroo]

There really needs to be stricter laws regarding people who keep snakes as pets, after looking at the size of the container this woman kept it in i'm not surprised it escaped, let's hope they find it before it kills a family pet or worse.

You hear about many cases of large poisonous snakes gone loose in places like Florida. Some people just become afraid when the snake gets too large or aggressive, and they let them loose somewhere on purpose. Not fair to the poor snake or the folks/pets in the area that are suddenly endangered.

A workmate kept a pet (illegal) Diamond Python in his flat in Sydney. It escaped and was never found despite thorough searching and much annoyance to his neighbours.
After he moved out I used to wonder if the next renters ever found a surprise in their kitchen or loo.

The mind boggles are the stupidity of some.

Oh, he was certainly that!

Pythons have taken over the Everglades.

I cant say in words how much I hate snakes.....I really hate them.....Hopefully where I live if a tropical snake escapes its confines it wouldn't survive too long.....outside that is.
