Eh. They could have tried killing it. But they didn't. They just scooped it into a sack and turned it in.

Yea I'm glad they didn't kill it. That's awesome though, but sucks because chances are it's an escapee.

Nobody's worrying though- good thing it wasn't a python or boa! That would cause major butthurt.
