If it was a ball python he stole, I'm not at all surprised he wasn't bitten. And now the snake will probably refuse food for an extra 6 months after this, ahem, gross mistreatment.
Snake thieves & smugglers have been stuffing snakes & other reptiles into their clothes (& yes, even into their pants) for decades now. It should give snake-haters great comfort knowing just how UN-appealing human anatomy really is to snakes. They really don't want to bite -much less eat- us- contrary to silly Hollywood movies.
It's not at all funny to pet stores either- they lose a lot of revenue to shoplifters, & when people steal animals, the animals are seldom well-treated.
