"Ball pythons ... [are] fully capable of eating cats, dogs and other small mammals."
Article: Observers fear exotic pet release all too common
Link: http://www.valleymorningstar.com/new...a4bcf6878.html
As she cradled the ball python Kim in the National Butterfly Center one cool April morning, Director Marianna Trevino-Wright said school field trips had given her the chilling realization of how many people let exotic pets go in South Texas.
“It was really after we started using Kim and hearing from children ‘Oh, my dad or my brother or my uncle had one of those…and it got huuuge, and we set it loose in the park,’” she said. “It got to the point where every day we were hearing a child or a teacher say something to that effect.”
Ball pythons, which are native to West Africa, can grow up to six feet in length — fully capable of eating cats, dogs and other small mammals.
Only read a few sentences and already said "Oh hell no!" out loud. There's waaaaaaaaaaaay too many flaws in this halfassed story. I don't know whether to laugh or hit my head on the keyboard. 
HSUS, get out of my Texas!

These articles make me so mad. Some people think that "python" and "boa" are synonymous with "killing machine".

Re: "Ball pythons ... [are] fully capable of eating cats, dogs and other small mammal
Articles like that hurt the credibility of REAL biologists.
Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
