    So sad, but what can we expect from a society that kills their own for a sale!

    People never cease to disgust me. There was no reason to kill the snake... well unless it was going to eat the 1 or 4 year old.

    Re: Ball python found in family dryer

    That really is just a shame I dont see any reason why they would kill it. I am curious as to how they killed it. I hope it was as humane as possibly although unnecessary. If not I say bring them up on animal cruelty charges. I understand it was in your home but it does not know any better. Also why was that pest control guy there if they killed it I would assume that you would call him to remove the animal while alive not after you had already killed it. Whatever I am soo disappointed in humans sometimes.

    No, you don't know anything.

    Wow.

    You know, I have a two year old. I better get rid of all these dangerous snakes before my big bad killer BP eats her.

    Just one more thing to make me lose faith in humanity.

    Re: Ball python found in family dryer

    I'm ashamed to admit that 2 months ago, I would probably have whacked it's head off with a shovel if I didn't faint on the spot first. My relatives are still that way. I can't really tell you why we all grew up with this irrational fear of ALL snakes. It's not like we've never been to a zoo or that we've never heard of Steve Irwin. It only took 1 week after my husband brought home our first ball python that I gained enough confidence to run my forefinger down her spine, and one more week for me to hold this beautiful pet on my own. That's after 38 years of fearing snakes! So, have patience on the ignorant humans. They'll eventually get it. Especially if all of us start using our pets to educate everybody we meet (my kids had show and tell at school last week showcasing our bp's - we now have 2). And if we can take out all those nasty feeding videos out of YouTube... I'm not talking about the educational ones. I'm talking about the ones that show complete disrespect for the prey...

    Re: Ball python found in family dryer

    further research says that the snake was killed by the tumbler when the dryer was started the tumbler turned and the snake was wedged up against it and the wall of the dryer and the friction squashed the snake and jammed the tumbler(drum) so it didnt move and made alot of noise so the couple killed the snake inadvertedly by turning the dryer on
