I understand your reluctance to take in such a large snake. Well, potentially large.But, a burmese python's care is not all THAT much different from a ball python's. At least for the first few years of its life.
I agree, there is nothing wrong with a little bit of "friendly" intimidation by unusually large boyfriends. -lol- Also, don't forget that there are good networking tools online such as myspace (yes, it can be useful from time to time), facebook - any of those type of sites. There's also craigslist. Post some stuff up, get some people interested, and see what you can do.
Also, call the ASPCA tomorrow and ask who they refer reptile-related problems to. They will usually have a number. If they tell you to call the police, then call the police and see who they suggest you speak to. You can also try calling places that specialize in pest removal. From time to time they will have to deal with reptiles, and I bet they have a number for a reptile rescue place. Just start calling people. Someone will be able to point you in the right direction. I know that the humane society of the united states has an e-mail address on their website. You may also try e-mailing them.
I will help in whatever way I can. I hate to hear stories like this. I am not in the area, but if there's anything I can do from afar I will. If you are able to get the snake and need a little bit of money for its food or something, let me know. There's never enough money to go around, but I definitely don't mind sharing what little I have. Please keep me updated. PM me if you like.
