Now ball Pythons are dangerous

[formica]

saw this in the news over here aswell, our news focused more on the fact they where kept in plastic storage units, i presume RUB's or something similar, the usual hysteria ensued, although I would expect the animal department of most police forces to be able to make a fairly good judgment of good conditions - hopefully more info will come out relating to that, rather than a knee jerk reaction to plastic tub housing

From what I understand they were evicted from their homes, because all pythons are against bylaw, which is why they had 40 in only five plastic tubs in a hotel room. So the reaction wasn't to the plastic tubs, it was to the amount of snakes per tub.
