The way the media is handling this story had me screaming at the tv last night and this morning. They keep reporting this as if it was loose by saying things like "giant python captured" and "giant python slithering in yard" this was a confisaction not a capture and yes there is a big difference between the two. Then this morning the local Fox affiliate gave snake facts such as burms average life span is 20-37 years the record leingh for a snake was 48feet and the record weight was 987lbs WTF!!?!! Has anyone in the media ever done a lick of research into these stories?
