Maybe the Python Wanted to Meet More People

2009_01_python.jpg Note to self: When bringing a 7-foot python to a friend's house, the python might get curious and wander off. Because that's what happened to David Fennell. Fennell, who lives on Parsons Boulevard, was visiting a friend on 149th Street in Jamaica when the python got free around 5:30 p.m., according to the Post. "Emergency Service Unit cops arrived at 5:55 p.m., and found the python curled up in a hallway 20 minutes later." The python (no pet name given) was then taken to an Animal Care & Control facility because the Department of Health prohibits pythons as pets. Wacky, but not as insane as the story of the 7-foot python a Brooklyn woman found...in her toilet.

No doubt the unfortunate creature was looking for a computer so he could book a flight back to somewhere near the Amazon River.

The more exotic the pet, the lower the owner's self-esteem.

Ok, now where did Fluffy the cat go and why does the python have a big bulge in the middle?

Yet I see so many pythons in pet stores. How is that?
