A woman "held captive" by a Burmese

Yea, the whole time she was in "danger"
NOT!!!
:colbert:

I don't blame the woman for being terrified, I blame the news for hyping it up. They love to hype up snake stories. "She's lucky it didn't eat her", that is absolutely ridiculous, that snake would almost choke on a rabbit as thin as it was. Eating an adult human would be impossible. I would love for one of these to happen with five or six cops standing around a snake and have somebody just walk up and pick it up and walk off with no tools or anything. That would be hilarious.

This.
I would do that. People are pansies these days.

They said "it's amazing the woman wasn't eaten"!!! Really!!??

I like how most of these accidents happen in Florida, too. It gives the rest of us Floridians that actually care to protect their beloved slithery friends a bad name. I'm utterly disgusted by this. Florida sucks anyway.. >:(

heckI wrestled moms cat out of my boa coils and she thicked than that poor guy was.(I hope the cat now will
1 quite sleeping on top of my rodent tanks making it smell like snake food.
2 understand why I always toss and chase them out of the of the reptile room when they try to follow mom or me in there.
3 mom as well why I don't want the cats on this side of the trailer when I got the snake cage open in the room as I playing with them. (have had the boa crawl out of her cage and get in my lap 3 different times over the years I had her since her rescue back in early 2002-2003. I was always gettign yelled at by mom for punting ( at the cats when they came in the room now she understands why. I also know the cats like to smack at the snake thogugh the glass cause they don't know what it is.

Wow. I love how people like us, that are into herps almost NEVER have snake-related incidents. But on the other side of the spectrum, all those people who are terrified find a beautiful burm chillin outside their car.

I admit, I am little afraid of the "big" guys, but that lady and all those people are a bunch of dumb asses!!

Way to go Newsroom! Once again you have taken a simple story and turned it into a mess. Congrats:frustrate

I watched this and laughed at the police. I have a 12' burmese python named Littlefoot. I don't have to even pick him up, he crawls out of his cage when I lift the lid. This would scare any non-snake lovin' person.
