K, here's the story -- It was a 7 foot Burmese who bit his owner on the wrist because she smelled like a rat. He wrapped around her legs and her son called the police because he didn't know what to do. It took three people to get the snake off. Luckily the woman blames herself for hand feeding him, she's been bitten once before (she's had him 3.5 years). The police wanted to have the snake put down but she refused to let them take it. She said she'll donate him to a zoo if he bites again... the snake was housed in a large wire bird cage, but looked very healthy. I'm glad the owner took the blame... but someone needs to buy that woman a set of tongs!
