Yeah... It's going to make a straight up vertical climb through a vent system.... Vents are pretty smooth metal, so this heavy bodied snake went 90 degrees straight up and didn't break any vent systems until above the room....

I'm going to guess either the following.

Carbon monoxide from the snake somehow falling (I haven't seen diagrams on how the vent system works, in case the snake DID get up there). OR

Double homicide, guy took out the fan, put a hole in the ceiling, , and placed the snake in the room before calling police to have a scape goat...

I'm willing to bet his vent system isn't even big enough to accommodate the snake either....

I keep getting grief about this from strangers who find out I keep large snakes, and I have to take 15 minutes to explain the logistics of exactly how impossible this stuff is...
