Ball python found in a locker
Re: Ball python found in a locker
Well, I'm glad the guy responded to it in a decent manner. At least he didn't kill it, better than most stories I hear.

Work at a pet store ;)...unfortunately A LOT of reptiles get handed off to store employees. I "adopted" a ball python, bearded dragon, (very sick) Savannah Monitor, a few green anoles, a Quaker Parrot, and a leopard gecko at my short employment at a Petco. There were many many more pets given up there that other employees adopted or found homes for. I guess it wasn't a bad thing because their owners did the right thing by trying to find new homes for them pets instead of neglecting them or something.

"Reardon said the snake, later identified as a ball python, coiled up in an attack stance in the hallway of the high school."
I wonder if that "attack stance" resembled a ball?:D:D

It looks like a possible pastel! I hope the kid just forgot it was there!
Re: Ball python found in a locker
the guy who found him gets my respect.... most people would have killed or seriously injured a snake... but he gave it water and treated it as any other pet untill it could be givin to *experienced* keepers. even though it didnt mention that if he didnt like the snake or had a hatred for snakes, he did try to investigate to see who might have put a animals health at such jepordy....
*(i guess by being a pet shop they are experienced)

Yeah that amused me as well :)
Re: Ball python found in a locker
Depends on the BP... some when startled would react with a semi-attack stance, which is later followed by the "IT'S NOT SCARED! *balls*" reaction when you go to pick it up.
But yes, I did instantly think it tried to ball, then realized that most people wouldnt see "ball with head on bottom" as attack stance.
