We watched this report carefully, apparently the cold snap killed the pythons, I do not know if the snakes were kept in outdoor enclosures but I would bet they were. The city of Corpus Christi has had the no venomous and no constrictor over 6' long rule for over 35 years, and the man did not move the snakes in a timely manner. He is lucky the judge gave him this long, as most are destroyed. This was a lose/lose situation for all involved. There is not much you can do here except keep large animals in cities where it is allowed, you must be responsible, or someone else will be left with control of your animals. Just my opinion.
