    Also, there is already a rescue of sorts in Florida that Ben Siegel has helped to start called the Burmese Python Initiative that is doing just that. You can only adopt out those animals to someone with a ROC permit (Reptiles of Concern), and those are typically only licensed dealers, researchers, or those using them for educational purposes. As has been mentioned, it would cost a ridiculous amount of money to do such a thing.

    And more importantly, have you ever even held/been around a LARGE constrictor? Or a Giant? The zoo internship would be a great idea if that were something you might be interested in. Giants are a WHOLE different can of worms from any other type of snake. While your intent is noble, I'm gonna say you should probably get a lot more training first.
