I'll see your "specialist" with an "Florida wildlife officials"

But Florida wildlife officials say African rock pythons pose an even bigger threat to the state and are more dangerous than their Burmese cousins.



and raise you an "a herpetologist"

"This is just one vicious animal," Kenneth Krysko, a herpetologist at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville, said in a 2009 National Geographic article. He said African pythons are "so mean they come out of the egg striking."

No need to search for "hidden pedophiles", IMHO, there are plenty of stupid people who have carelessly caused the accidental deaths of others.

This is just another example...

If this creature was so dangerous (and who am I to argue with a herpetologist) WHY was it being displayed in a public store?? Apparently, the guy also had crocodiles and tarantulas there.
