Animal Control quote "Ball pythons enjoy eating eggs as a treat!"
I know we all have heard the dumbest quotes from people in the public eye concerning our reptiles but this one blew me away.
Last night on the news here in San Diego (maybe someone smarter than me can link the entire story  a guy found a container of some sort in a garbage can with a 3-4 long normal ball in it. Called the police. They called animal control. All good right. Well as good as can be expected. Animal control lady does the next interview and says " Yes its a python. A ball python makes a great pet, blah blah.....Snake is in great condition. And whoever put him in the container even put eggs in the box with him. And we all know snakes love to eat eggs as a treat!! The snake will be available for adoption.....blah blah"
Obviously I know there are egg eating snakes out there but really saying that about a ball python. Any quick internet search would have answered that question!!
Loads of balls around here

I betcha that snake laid eggs and the owner didn't know what to do, so they dumped it. They keep calling it a he but SHE looks to be a pretty good size, and a little hollow looking (like she recently laid).
:/ I wonder if someone can contact the humane society and ask what happened to the eggs? Or see if they can get the animal sexed?
