It is a shame that people are so negative towards snakes and those that have them as pets - as if owners of snakes don't care for them as much as dog or cat owners. I'm not saying this particular owner is one of those caring types, but I don't know them so I can't judge.
I do blame the public that the immediate reaction to a missing giant is "OMG, I can't let my kids and pets outside, they'll surely be killed by that monster. They should be banned". However, someones' large dog (Shepard, lab, does not really matter) that is just as capable of killing smaller pets or harming kids usually only elicits comments of "poor dog, must be so scared and lonely" and "I really hope it's found, lets spread the word all over face book and maybe someone will find it".
Dog attacks / injuries are much more common by far than python attacks, its just ridiculousness to me that people hear the word 'python' and immediately turn to 'man-eater'
No cage is too large - nature is the best template - a snoot can't be booped too much
