The mother (a parent in all sense of the word) was there and allowed this snake in the house....it was her house wasn’t it?

I think that's irrelavent to who actually owned the house isn't it...I'm sure he'd have moved the snake in with him at her place as it didn't seem to make any difference to her that the baby was in the same house anyway. If it did she would have insisted that he get rid of it or not moved in with him in the first place. I'm sure he assured her that it was safe and he had this 'big rock' to put on top of it's 'cage' to keep the snake inside.......I actually had neighbors that used that argument in the past when asked about how safe it was to have an 18ft snake in the same house as little kids.
