These snake owners need to start securing their cages/aquariums better.

The ball python was having a ball relaxing in the park, but it was good it was captured, as it might have scared some other park goers too.

We went to an outdoor concert yesterday and a wildlife park had a few animals there including a python.

I'm glad the python has a new home. It doesn't belong in a park.
