I found the end comments interesting !!

(Reuters) - Canadian authorities have rescued 40 distressed pythons from a motel room where they were being improperly held in plastic storage bins, police said on Friday.
Police found the snakes, ranging from 1 foot to 4-1/2 feet in length, in a motel in Brantford, a city about 100 km (62 miles) southwest of Toronto.
"The snakes were not being suitably cared for and were in distress. The anxious officers called the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals who attended and took 40 pythons into their care," local police said in a statement.
The snakes are expected to be fine, they said. No one at the Brantford police or at the SPCA were available for comment.
A manager at the motel said the snakes belonged to a couple who had checked into a room for one night, and who were out when police arrived on Thursday evening.
Pythons are not legal for home ownership in Brantford, according to the city's animal control bylaws.
Last week, two young boys in Eastern Canada died after a 13-foot (3.96-metre), 100-lb (45-kg) python apparently attacked them in their sleep. An autopsy confirmed the two died of asphyxiation.

Not trying to bring the old thread into this, but it stirs me up greatly how in that last comment they pretty much say because the kids died of asphyxiation it was the pythons fault. Don't they know there's other causes of death with that same symptom?

I find it funny how they relate that story with the other one because they both have the word snake in them. I think they are just trying to beat up the story because it was pretty boring. The other thing I noticed was that they were being cruel by keeping the pythons in plastic tubs, I bet that opinion was from someone who does not know snakes or keeping snakes at all.
