Was just up in the rat shed topping up water, food etc and when I went to connect the garden hose there was this little fella sitting there! Probably hunting down a couple of the escapee rats! :P also, realised i spelt thief wrong in the title!

I just love the look, size and temperament of the Ball Python. Is there a petition we can organise and sign to send to the government to have an exception on this species?? I can't be the only one that wants one.
