    12 foot African rock python gets loose in College Station, TX

    This is getting enough coverage that my dad found out about it before me. It seems damage control may be needed...

    Man, I want to know how to potty train my big snakes - cleaning up after them is not fun!

    If I were one of the cops. not only would I have not brought anything to carry the snake out, I would have shot it dead. The owner should be prosecuted and jailed for subjecting his neighbors to a dangerous animal. Owning a python should be a felony punishable by an automatic prison sentence.

    Definitely off-topic but, I feel the same way about people who negligently cause traffic accidents while dorking around with their cell phones...

    There is an article about this on Yahoo. The comments are even worse. The only thing I agree with is the owner of the snake should have better means to insure the snake doesn't escape.

    Yeah, I'm afraid this has gone viral. Slathered all over the news like bird droppings on a car.
