I'm sure it was a dump and run situation.

I think if anything should be banned it should be stupid owners who buy things for the novelty of it or for macho crap.

I don't like this micro chipping stuff. It's known, particularly in cats, to cause sarcomas. I wonder if it would do the same this a snake?

Maybe you tatoo a number on their belly? Or would it just shed off eventually.

Sorry for the mistake of poisonous and venomous.
As far as I know the microchipping sarcomas are extremely rare cases.

And there haven't been any on record with reptiles, probably because not nearly as many have been chipped, but still.

Large pythons especially are quite large and lazy. They don't like to move too much if they don't have to. So the idea of them slithering that far is ridiculous.
