    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Two Pythons Found After Their Escape
Tuesday , February 03, 2009

SAN LUIS OBISPO, California —

It's pretty difficult for a 23-foot, 130-pound python to hide.

The orange reticulated python, the world's longest snake species, and a second python, measuring 13 feet, escaped from a terrarium in their owner's home in San Luis Obispo, California, on Sunday night.

Police warned residents that the snakes were large enough to make meals of young children or pets.

But both had been captured by Monday afternoon.

The larger python was found basking in the sun in a backyard several blocks away. The smaller python was spotted under the owner's porch. No injuries were reported.

Police said the snakes' owner will not be cited.

"There is no leash law for snakes," said police Sgt. Kurt Hixenbaugh.

What were these people thinking? It's bad enough the snakes pulled a Houdini with the terrarium, but how do a 23 ft AND a 13 ft burmese manage to get OUT OF THE HOUSE?!?!?! Now, the bulk of us that are RESPONSIBLE snake owners get to take another hit for owning "dangerous" reptiles. Oh, and don't you just love this part: "Police warned residents that the snakes were large enough to make meals of young children or pets."
Yeah, if that doesn't turn more people off to the hobby...
