Legend has it that snakes are not like indian underwear! They will NOT creep up on you.
IMO, that is an old tale, if the snake is hungry and you are warm; NOT GOOD!

What a disappointment. From the title I thought they were talking about John Cleese.

While deployed on MIA-POW recovery missions in 1992 and 1993 to Cambodia, one of our crew chiefs managed to capture and kill a 16 foot Burmese python which he skinned, cooked (yum, there were 110 of us on that particular mission and probably 60 tried the snake), then took the skin into Thailand where he traded it for a pair of Python-skin boots.
One of these days I’ll make stills from the video I shot of that and many other things.

Look, they even put it in a handy storage container for you.
Why did the python cross the road?

I wish Florida had passed a law yeses ago outlawing the sale of snakes not indigenous to Florida. Now we have a python problem we’ll never get rid of...

"...this type of snake is not native to the area." It will be soon - and not b/c of this pet snake, but b/c the pythons will adapt and move up to slightly colder temperatures.
The only thing they can't stand is sub freezing temperatures. I'd bet that their tolerance for that is increasing just a little bit each year.
A wildlife ranger guy/neighbor tells me the only thing that cures this is sub 32 degrees in Miami for almost a week solid. We may be waiting for that for a long time.

Best to conduct a search and if there are any left, kill them all.

My son laughed at me when I told him I carry with snake shot when I walk my wife's dog here in SC.
But ima need a bigger caliber and more capacity.
