I am not happy, last week i irresponsibly left an enclosure of my high red male black-head open to find the next day he was missing. I checked everywhere but to no avail. I knocked on most of my neighbours doors to inform them of the situation, most were very helpful and this week we have moved on several snakes from their houses but did not find my black-head. Anyway today I got a knock on the door from the next door neighbour to inform me that a man a couple of doors down was boasting about killing a black head python before it bit his kids. (Let me add that this is the most placid snake I have or had in a large collection). So I went and knocked on the door to introduce myself and make them aware that it was my pet and that it is illegal to kill native wildlife. I was confronted with a rude woman who had no regard for my pet nor the law. Imagine if her dog pooped in my lawn and i hit it with a shovel. I tried to be diplomatic with no joy so I alerted the EPA and they said Monday it will be sorted. I hope they smash him with a big fine.
Moral to the story... i should not have been complacent, always double check enclosures.
