I'm suprised they haven't put up a big sign out front saying "free burmese python to anyone that can catch it". I'm sure every herp in town would want to see movies there.
One reason large snakes are hard to sell/giveway is that some states have a maximum size limit on pet snakes. A friend of mine left Arizona to work in Colorado, and left her Burmese (named Sluggy) with a friend. She planned on picking it up later when she had settled in somewhere, but the job fell through and she moved around a bit. After a couple of years she got a call from her friend asking her to collect Sluggy because he now exceeded the maximum size for pet snakes in Arizona - 16 feet. :shock:
