I've got a python story - - Python was about 8 ft long (tall?) and I've said before I'm 5'2". lol Just to keep on both topics.
Moth was out at an old farmhouse, climbing about in their roof. Before he went up there they told him they have a Diamond python in the ceiling - they'd even put some mattressing around the chimney so it wouldn't get burnt, because it curled around it.
He didn't see it.
They've had it for years and it occasionally comes down into the house and they find it in the kitchen, shower, on the car, and under the lounge cushions.
They had a son leave home for 2 years and he came home to stay for a while. The snake was only small when hed seen it last. He was sitting on the lounge and the Python came across the back of the lounge and down between him and his Dad. The kid automatically leapt off the lounge and hit his face on the carpet...getting carpet rash while the family laughed at him until they cried.
A Kodak moment.
