Python winds its way into animal shelter

[smasharama13]

This was in our local paper tonight. Article


It's too bad I'm not set up to house more than just my one little Ball right now. I know there's more out there that need good homes and I'm sure this guy/girl is a good one.

if the original owner wants the snake back... and can provide proper care... why not just let him have it?

I agree with you, but you know how Animal control is, they want to make sure that the animal will be completely 100% cared for. I think that's better for the animal.

This is just a small town paper and not too many people know about snakes (that I know of). You can see that they make a big deal about it not eating for a month, and no water for 4 days. I know it's not good for the animal, but it's not too bad for it either. Not to sound cruel, I would never do that to my snake, but it's not too bad a deal. I'm just glad that the lady called it in, rather than letting it die or letting it go outside.
