Ditter, I really must put Depends on my shopping list! (NO, I'm still dry! LOL!)
On the serious side, I did watch something on either the National Geo or Animal Planet channel on the very subject. It's really amazing how irresponsible some people are. I understand that there were a whole lot of these snakes that got out after a hurricane. The "building" in which they were kept was nothing but a flimsy wood frame structure with plastic sheeting stapled in place for wall. Well, you can imagine how well that stood up to the huricane winds. Owners left without their snakes even though they had plenty of time to take them with along.
