I don't consider this to really be bad publicity because they do point out that the owners did report it missing, and did check back occassionally to see if it had been found, and the snake was returned to the owners when they saw it on the initial local news reports. Today it was on Headline News. Must be a slow day in the world.

I do wish that I was lucky enough to come across a JCP in a hotel room...
