The real monsters are the humans that think these creatures should be pets, and then abandon them for being "too much."
Jeez.
As a former snake owner (2 corn snakes and 1 ball python), it's TOTALLY irresponsible to buy a snake (or any pet for that matter) without first researching it's species...how long will it live, how large will it get, what will I feed it, do I have the equipment to safely house and handle the animal, etc. It kills me when I go into pet stores and see people buying pets on impulse.
The video is no longer posted. What kind of snake was it? I used to have a corn snake and a red tail. I got them when they were really small and had both for a while.
Why, it was a Burmese Python, of course. ;D
