Chid 6,687 Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 We had a 6ft python go missing when the fella who was looking after them didn't close the lid on the tank right . Found it ten days later when we got home wrapped around the element on the back of the fridge .. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’d hate to live anywhere near anyone with anything like that . people should be made to take out insurance against such things being owned Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably should have insurance tbh ,We had quite a few different snakes at different times about 25/30 years ago including a 9ft Burmese python which my brother used to walk the streets with it over his shoulders Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryaldinhio 5,092 Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Reptiles not my thing at all but must have been a right relief to find it. I've had dogs run off and ferrets get out hutches and it's a massive lift when they come back! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
