stuck its head out from between his legs

LOL!

At least the writer has a sense of humor.

Funny... I just told my son last night that I would let him get a ball python.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Ball Python between his legs, the jokes tell themselves.

[asgardshill]

A motorist found a slithery surprise not covered in his rental car agreement when a ball python stuck its head out from between his legs.

He's very, very lucky that the snake didn't live up to its name.

[50 Cal]

OOHHHH I'd been pissed at that car company.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

He had just taken Viagra for the first time, so naturally he was a bit concerned.

[NautiNurse]

The snake was slightly dehydrated

The snake was likely in a puddle of urine after that surprise.

[Charles Henrickson]

The snake was tame and likely hand-reared, Frank said. . . .

Bawney?

[Larry Lucido]

I'd like to find a Python under my car seat.

When Walker and animal control officer Tim Frank arrived to help Sunday

Geez! He found a little bitty critter and had to call 2 gubermint employees to help?

One of my 10 year old daughters could have handled it.

If he gets money in court we will see many snakes in rental cars while they drink hot coffee with mice in the cups.

[11th Earl of Mar]

lol... You are bad.

LMAO.... I had the same thoughts, and would add one other comment, better grab a new set of undies as well.... - big skid mark on back side.

They do make great pets. Maximum lenght 6", never bite, and are now captive bred in several color morphs.

[ZULU]

Its called a "Ball" Python because it coils up into ball shape with the head in the center of the ball when threatened.

[ZULU]

Thye ARE a lot cheaper to feed and don't generally die. Also quite practical at times.

[ZULU]

More likely we will see a clause inserted in the bill sale to the effect that the car sales company is not responsible for any lost critters in the car.

[11th Earl of Mar]

I understand they will only grow to their envrionment.

So will a young python stay small if kept in a small cage?

[bmwcyle]

It will break a man from reaching down while he is driving.

"Uh.. Is That A Python Between Your Legs
Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?"

sorry, couldn't pass that one up :-)

[ZULU]

Well, actually, the animal will continue to grow to its normal maxium regardless of the size of the container.

This issue comes up in tropical fish discussions frequently.

If the size of the container is inadequate for the animals, it will not thrive and will die. Snakes don't need the same size container as other more active animals. A 6 foot ball pythin would probably do just fine in a large fish tank type container - like a 30 gallon or 55 gallon, or, with frequent cleaning and handling, perhaps a 20 gallon long. But the larger the better.
