    Maybe not in most parts of the country, but hurricanes can certainly cause them to get loose in some southern states.
    Where does it say they had a hurricane .I guess i should have said it more simple, NO SNAKE GETS LOOSE ON ITS OWN! So someone messed up and the snake lost its life because of it.

    You're exact words were "snakes do not get loose on there own"

    Snakes is plural, more than one.

    And yes, snakes do get loose on their own. It's called escaping.

    And this snake did not escape because if you read Tim's post, you would see that they let the snake roam the house.

    I believe that the point he is making is, if it escaped an enclosure, then either the human did not latch said enclosure, or built it to poor standards. In turn, did not escape on its own.
    Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs
    "Most of the people in our society are sheep. They are kind, gentle, productive creatures who can only hurt one another by accident."

    "Then there are the wolves," the old war veteran said, "and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy."

    "Then there are sheepdogs," he went on, "and I'm a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf."

    I know what you are up to but i will reply this last time to point something out.NO SNAKE OR SNAKES CAN ESCAPE FROM A PROPER ENCLOSURE!!! If the keeper has properly secured the enclosure then the reptile CAN NOT escape.Yes i read after i first posted that these idiots had the snake roaming free .
