looks like they kept it...at least they didn't smack it with the axe, poor snake!

I'm also glad they didn't simply call it a 'Python' and make it out to be a future monster that could eventually kill someone. That seemed like it was handled pretty well to me.

looks like a normal to me, but either way lucky snake.

Yeah looks like a very pretty normal. He is beautiful!! Glad they didn't chop it's head off or fillet it open like most people would. Seems like a very nice snake that didn't have any problem living in the attic for half a year!
