Baby Attacked By Ball Python

A 15 month old baby was attacked by a ball python while taking a walk in the park with his mother. The snake wrapped around the boys leg and bit him. 2 maintenance workers beat the 4' snake with a shovel in fear that it might have eaten the child, HA! Upon inspection of the animal it was malnourished and dehydrated and will be taken care of at a local pet store until it dies from the shovel wounds :(

15 foot snake found in suburban Florida

A 15 foot reticulated python was found in a pool in southern Florida yesterday, there is no way that that animal grew that big in the wild of Florida, that means that someone lost thousands of dollars taking care of that animal and let it go, or lost it.

Excuse Me Sir But Can You Please Empty Your Pockets?

Indian Star Tortoises, despite being illegal to export, are still very common in West Asian And Southern European pet stores. Because the governments are not allowed to impound when they find the animals in pet stores, and smugglers being as sneaky as they are, it is hard for an illegal tortoise exporting rings to be uncovered.

More than anticipated

A golfer in Florida almost lost his arm yesterday when he lost his ball in a pond and went to retrieve it. He was bitten by an alligator and was brought to a hospital after almost losing his life. I wonder if he got the ball back. He had no serious injuries and the alligator was captured.
