I just watched the local news a moment ago and it said some woman's snake, a 12 foot Burmese python, got out of its cage and strangled her baby to death! They also found boa constrictors in her house. This is bad considering they were trying to pass the bill H.R.669 earlier this year. As I know it, the bill is not dead yet!

The final story is she was a 8 foot albino burm and from pics appears underweight. She was kept in a bag in an aquarium with a quilt as a lid.
They arent filing charges yet until autopsy results come out.
FWC fortunately arent bad mouthing the snake, instead saying there was no permit as required by law and these snakes require due diligence. This one apparently kept getting loose the day before.
Still very very tragic and not good for the burese pythons or Florida right now
Here's an updated link.
