Corn's are great snakes... we have an albino one as well... we also have a gray-banded king snake who is super chill... Now my Red Tail Boa (Columbian) has gotten more people over their fear of snakes than any other snake I know... he was 8', but he was so docile and chill... he'd just hang out with you...
It said in the article it was caught... It's in the hands of wildlife experts looking to find a home in a zoo/sanctuary in the area (turtleback zoo would be an ideal fit IMO) Alligator does taste great... had it in Florida... Don't know about croc' meat though
Exotic "pets " are fine as long as the something that could go wrong does not. Bout a year ago a couple with a python failed to secure it one night and it got out and killed their kids. They were burned for it as well they should have been, Saw a show once detailing incidents between exotic pets and their owners. I remember seeing the end result of a woman whose Chimpanzee went off on the deep end. I respect animals, believe they have their domains and should you enter it is at your own risk. On the other hand should one try to bring an animal into mans domain again at own risk.
Yeah... having kids, I wouldn't entertain having anything that big nor a hot snake... but I do want a boa again
As you know if you get the right kind and take care of them correctly they make great pets. When my brother had his snake we used to go the live mouse route. With my daughter's corn snake we get the frozen ones and thaw them out. Supposed to be better and it avoids the mouse harming the snake if the snake happens not to be in the mood to eat.
