RIDICULOUS!!! My girlfriend just sent me this link, which I was about to post when I saw this thread...

Is everyone ignorant or what???

That's where Jen Lewis, a wildlife rehabilitator who works at the Kennel Shop, identified it as a python. The snakes kill prey with their teeth but are not poisonous, she said.

Gee, and I always thought that reticulated pythons were constrictors. I had no idea they killed with their teeth...

Oh, and is anyone other than me curious whether an 8 foot retic would even FIT in the water pipes, let alone, squeeze out and into the barrel of the washer?

HAHAHA Garters are venomous too now right?

The news does such a poor job of research. You would think they'd study or be prepared for the job but I guess not.
