Recently authorities removed an 18 foot long, 30 inches around, 400+ pounds python from the backyard of a home in Florida. Now the snake didn’t slither up to someone’s property and scare the heck out of them. No. This was someone’s pet snake that was housed out back in a chain link cage. The giant python was being feed rabbits  - seven rabbits was a common meal.

According to the caretaker the snake is docile (of course she is!), but has escaped its cage before.  With 400 pounds of muscle that doesn’t come as a real surprise. Thank goodness this pet python did not harm anyone like the pet python in a nearby county. That pet killed a two year old little girl.  With the removal of this pet, I know the neighbors are breathing a little easier tonight.
