Some day folks will learn about these Pythons. They ain't pets. Spent some years workin at the zoo and we had people every week wantin to donate their Python cause it went after them and now they are scared of it. Boa's can make decent pet's but Python's just can't be tamed. They may be docile for years but the one time they feel cranky they will take ya and it's hard and fast when they do.

Ok after readin the story, guess I should a done that first, at least the snake wasn't a pet like we keep hearin about here in this country.

I would have shot it first thing with a twelve gauge about six or seven times:DD::poak::bat:

How does a 16 foot snake, just disappear?

Ya, I'd have been on the phone.

happens down here all the time.....people get them then turn them loose or they get loose......

Actually there was a story on Yahoo just a few days ago in referance to Pythons. Wildlife experts are predicting that within a few years the home range of breeding populations of Pythons is expected to be the entire southern 1/3 of the US. Then your gonna see just how easy it is for 16ft snakes to appear and dissapear right in front of your eyes.

I used to have a 16' Albino Burmese Python. We fed it rabbits or chickens, it would roam around the house like a dog. We even let it hang out in the front yard while cleaning its cage. Our snake was never aggressive, you could be watching tv lying on the floor and it would crawl up next you and just chill.

We had our snake for almost 10 years. When I got married the snake had to go, but I would definitely get another one.

your fricken crazy no problem!!!!

Right on Jenn!

You are right, next time it may be someones child.
