well... I think I could walk to McDonalds with my 2 meter python with no problems at all lol.
Makes me angry that those idiots stole the snake. They need heavier fines for stealing protected wildlife.

They did steal it - they stole a black head python & a monitor from a pet shop. Boy - a whole 1.5 metre snake - what heros! The snake was said to be "not impressed" - can't imagine why that might be??? What morons.

Not sure that that's legal (especially in Qld).

On Triple J this morning they told this news story and then played Frank Zappa's Baby Snakes under the weather in tribute to this news story

Dad called up and asked if I'd snuck out last night... "err, what are you talking about?", "did you J, did you?", "WHAT are you talking about?!". He then told me about this 'incident'... and reminded me how much I'd been drooling about a black headed python and monitor! :lol:

I know, I'm just saying... 1.5 meter? how the heck do you wrestle a mere 1.5 meter python?
guess they haven't handled snakes much lol.

So you finally snapped & pinched one from the local shops hey? :lol: :lol:

the snake is safely back in his enclosure now, a little shaken up (if you had of seen they way they handle it when they took it you would know why). the sand monitor is still being recovered. the blackhead has been a pet of outs for over 6 years, so it was alot more sentimental value then it was money. we are glad to have him back.

Hehe, sure did!

Glad to hear it's back though and safe... here's to hoping for a speedy recovery and that the poor things aren't shaken up too much.

Good to hear, hope you find the monitor. What a pair of idiots... If only you could have a chance to 'wrestle' them AKA kick their *cough* huh? Lol.

 

[moosenoose]

Stolen??? What a load of garbage! It sounds like just another typical herp trade in a Maccas carpark....nothing odd about it at all! 8)

Good to hear you got one of em back mckellar007. Nasty stuff!

Im still worried about the monitor that they said they haven't found him as yet, God I hope he's okay and someone has the sense to do the right thing if he's found. Stupid fools, I think they need some time in klink for this, poor animals. I hope Mr python is not too shaken up by this and that monitor is found very soon. Fingers crossed.

Was quite a surprise to see the store on TV. I'm really glad to hear the BHP is back and I hope it's doing okay - can quite easily imagine how it wouldn't have taken that well at all. And I really hope you get the Sand Monitor back.
