LOL...why doesn't stuff like this ever happen to snake lovers? I guess if it did, it wouldn't make the news. At least the snake seems to be alive and well...hopefully going to a new home where it will be well kept.

Oh boy, just what we needed, another news story about snakes. Rather than ask why this never happens to snake lovers (it probably has), I'd rather know why nothing positive about snakes, or reptiles in general, ever makes the news. But then too, I can answer that question myself sadly, it's because there would be no ratings in it.

Lol! Pretty snake. At least the girls seemed to be able to laugh it off, and they didn't try to kill it! Hooray....

A double whammy. For the longest time, animal rights activists would use snakes coming out of toilets or child endangerment as an excuse for banning these reptiles, but such myths were easier to debunk as they nearly never happened.
Well, now we have a rainbow boa (looks Brazilian to me tbh) that was found in a toilet and a viral video of a toddler playing with a Burmese python, all these making the news so recently in the new year. Being that this heavily reinforces stereotypes some of us have worked so long to dismiss, I'm feeling rather pessimistic about the direction this is going...
Next thing you know, there will be opinion segments and articles about people worrying about toilet snakes coming out to eat their children. Just watch, I'm sure something along those lines will rear its ugly head.
