A woman "held captive" by a Burmese

[SS4Luck]

i like how they joked about it eating her... it was a really pretty snake though lol

I can understand her having a fear of snakes. Some people do, and that's their fear. I have fears that some people would laugh at me about, so I respect other peoples fears.

It's the reporting that makes me angry. They could have done it alot better. But like I said, it's fox news and they always twist words, and (from what I hear) they're very biased. I watched that video twice and not once did I see that Burm try to strike at any of those people. He/she was very gentle, and was just looking for a meal.

I don't like the way they shoved him into the garbage can. They should have gotten someone out there that was more experienced with snakes. After all, it's Tampa!

Hmmm....trapped in a car because a snake is outside the car. Maybe the genious should have remembered that she was sitting in....A CAR? Last I heard, those newfangled cars move from place to place.

This is why BG believes this woman may have been a "plant". She could have driven a distance away and then called 911.

Well, it was certainly lucky for her that she 'just happened' to have a video camera on her cell phone. It appears that she must have gotten over her fear just in the nick of time too, because it looks like that footage was filmed outside the car. Hmmmm.

All this media attention lately kinda makes me think that these are things being done by some people that support the ban. Any freaked out person would just run the thing over! I was at a friends house last night and his chihuahua had me trapped at the front door. That thing was trying to eat my ankles!

BG I thought the exact same thing, how do we investigate something like that tho?

i like the unfoxed version were the expert said.....

"It's on the thin side," he said this morning, "but it's extremely friendly and a well-behaved snake."

The demeanor of the constrictor and its condition indicates it is a pet that escaped or was released, he said.

Yates said he took the snake to a party he attended Sunday night, and several people handled it and there were no problems.

"He's a very good snake," he said.

so fox out right lied....hmmm
