These animals belong in the wild, not kept in homes where they can kill people and pets. Constrictors are very dangerous. Plus, I feel sorry for them. It's horrible that they are kept in a glass cage. A real shame.

I agree with this. These people who get animals like this drive me crazy. People buying monkeys that are ripped out of their mothers hands as soon as they are born so they can be sold to people is absolutely disgusting. It causes both major depression. You hear stories of people owning tigers, lions and all kinds of animals that are supposed to be in the wild. I have no sympathy when I hear a monkey has torn its owners face off. People like this really infuriate me.

I cannot imagine this type of snake coming up through a toilet. Besides, they are not even 'water-type' snakes are they?

I wonder if these people keep doors open or something. I have to admit that my first thought was 'how does a snake that large get all the way into somebody's house and find his/her way to their bathroom?'.

I have a neighbor who frequently keeps their back door open all day long (in warmer weather). I don't know how people do that. If I get one fly in the house I'm hating it.

Once, when I lived in Carson City, a scorpion got in my apartment. This was over 30 years ago and I remember thinking - how could the scorpion get in the apartment, go down the stairs, and into the bathroom. Fortunately, the husband took care of matters and tried to spare me even knowing about it.

Police believe the African python slipped into the house when Rodriguez left the back door open after bathing her three household guinea pigs and putting the critters in outdoor pens.

Rodriguez says she heard strange noises, returned to the bathroom and discovered the snake crawling into the tub. She called 911.

College Station police and animal control officers removed the snake, using a city trash can as a temporary receptacle for the reptile.

No guinea pigs were harmed.

We used to have a cute tree frog that stayed near our patio. One day when I was cleaning up the mulch around one plant, I saw the tail end of a large garter snake. In it's mouth was the tail end of our tree frog. I got a sharp edged shovel and that was the end of the snake. Hours later I saw many bees on the snake's carcass. I hate snakes!!!!
