"Nicholson said he had been on a separate call earlier in the day searching for a missing 4-foot ball python. That snake, which escaped from a home in the in the 200 block of 22nd Avenue in Longview, has been missing for two days and still hadn't been found as of Monday evening, Nicholson said."



It's mind boggling to me that in the year 2011 in one of the most scientifically advanced nations in the history of the world, a loose 4 foot ball python is even remotely newsworthy. I'd be interested in why animal control would even be called for a ball python that has been missing for at most 2 days.
