  • XenoSNK, on 10/02/2008, -0/+10Dugg for the balls to be holding a snake in a ***** paper bag.
  • itsthehumidity, on 10/02/2008, -0/+7They're not aggressive snakes, in my experience. I volunteered at a science center where we had one and its main priority is to find something to hold on to. It'll try to wrap its tail around, say, your arm, which basically feels like you're getting your blood pressure taken. Pretty cool.
  • crombenevolant, on 10/02/2008, -0/+7Thank god it wasn't 17' of Perl, what a nightmare that would be....
  • BXRWXR, on 10/02/2008, -0/+7And now for something completely different...
  • donkevin, on 10/02/2008, -0/+7Richard Gere?
  • donkevin, on 10/02/2008, -0/+6You can if you want to.
  • thespiff, on 10/02/2008, -0/+6What's the difference between a Hockey Mom and a 17 ft. python?
    Anyone?
    Anyone?
  • seanshady, on 10/02/2008, -1/+7that isnt a tree branch.. it's a space station!
  • inactive, on 10/02/2008, -0/+6So the first thing he did was pick it up and take a picture?
  • Markb3489, on 10/02/2008, -0/+5one has a brain the size of a walnut and the other is python?
  • karkin, on 10/02/2008, -0/+5That guy is badass, look at him with his camo pants and picking up the python like it's nothing.
  • nattybohman, on 10/02/2008, -0/+5What the hell is an allotment?
  • Trots, on 10/02/2008, -0/+5Should he be wrapping the python around his neck like that?
  • freezerburn666, on 10/02/2008, -1/+5oh that poor thing :( snakes can be really gentle and nice pets
  • dialup56k, on 10/02/2008, -1/+5is that a python in your garden or are you happy to see me?
  • FeloniusMonkey, on 10/02/2008, -0/+4How do you mistake that thing for a tree branch?
  • klipseracer, on 10/02/2008, -0/+4Whats the ebay listing price for a python?
  • Paranoidmarvin, on 10/02/2008, -0/+4How did he get Python in his...

    Oh wait, *that* python
  • kingfoot, on 10/02/2008, -0/+4wait, the gardener?

    and also hold on, he was shocked before he found the snake?
  • r00fus, on 10/02/2008, -0/+4That's what she said!
  • donkevin, on 10/02/2008, -0/+4You could write it in four inches instead.
  • VeritasAequitas, on 10/02/2008, -0/+4I think it's the "more than likely won't try to eat you" part. At least for me I like pets that I KNOW aren't going to try and eat me. Or strangle me for that matter.
  • sealink, on 10/02/2008, -0/+4You might prefer having the python wrapped around you?
  • mophreo, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3"Not sure why people are afraid of a snake like this. They are non-poisonous AND MORE THAN LIKELY WON'T TRY TO EAT YOU." (emphasis mine)

    Yeah, unbelievable.
  • MalarkeyPN, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3Oh come on. Look at that guy. There's no way he didn't already own a 17 ft. python.
  • cubicrystal, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3This happens a lot more frequently than reported.
  • krueger038, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3The snake doesn't look so bad either.
  • dondara, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3Pythons don't lie?
  • MattB123, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3Lucky python to be found by such a sympathetic guy.
  • bpoteat, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3He can hold the snake like that because it can't see him - He's camouflaged.
  • BOFH139, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3From the pictures it about to shed {blue eyes}, I'm sitting opposite a +10ft Hog Boa while typing this.

    I know he though he was doing the best for the snake by trapping it in a cage but with out proper heating {23c-28c} the snake would have to go into a hibernation state to survive.
  • QEDemon, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3That's no tree branch...
