“It’s a totally harmless thing,” he said. “Why attack a harmless thing?”
Harmless? Pythons are constrictors - they hug you to death!
What idiotic statements.
As it is, the python must’ve been quite young, being only 4 ft. When it grows to 15 ft, it will not be harmless!
When it grows to 15 ft,
maybe a reticulated or a carpet python.
balls get up to 5 feet or so, rarely 6- never 15 feet.
Look up ball python or royal python.
