 Bad day for snakes

I found this story while looking for a different story about a python incident today. This one worries me because it was a ball python and therefore fuel for those who want to ban our snakes to go after even the smaller species.

I am so glad they have the snake up for adoption and that it wasn’t euthanized. I am guessing it went into the crib looking for warmth since a one year old baby is too big of a prey item for even the largest BP. Thankfully, the child is okay, but the poor snake was obviously not taken care of. The poor thing is so thin with pieces of shed just stuck to it’s body.

Anyone here live close enough to rescue the snake?

There was also an incident in TN with a python but I don’t know the details or what kind of python.

That’s horrible! If people didnt take care of their furry pets, someone turns them in and they get fined. It should be the same for reptiles! The day will come when all Reps will be banned, unless the generations coming up are educated. Also people who don’t want their reps anymore should just give them away instead of dumping them or starving them! There is plenty of people who would gladly take them. Didn’t mean to Steal your thread or anything. That kinda stuff frustrates me.

"It felt slimy, so I knew it must have been a snake."

-The ignorance of the boy’s parents is astounding, but the fact that the owner did not take action when the snake turned up missing is almost worse. Stupidity can go both ways..

I’m glad to hear that the snake will be put up for adoption.
