Question for you all

Alice Cooper is coming here, hes (his people) are claiming that his Python ate his heating pad and cant be in the show. Do you think a Python would do that? My snake doesnst just eat anything she comes accross she eats mice, shes smells it coming then attacks it. What would cause a snake to eat a heating pad?
I think the reason behind the story is because Thunder Bay has a law that we cant have boas or pythons here.
Thanks!
I did cross post this in other forums, sorry if you have had to read this a few times

well, it was in the news that his snake ate a heat pad. Not that the news is always right. I have known of snakes eating towels, paper towels.......it is not beyond reason that his snake did so. Snakes aren't always the sharpest tacks in the drawer and rely on heat or scent more than common sense sometimes in how they decide what to eat.

Haven't we warned you about tampering with the structure of a chaotic system?

Maybe it is because you aren't allowed to have snakes there but it seems pretty elaborate, they could just say "No snakes allowed sory can't bring her to show guys" instead of making up a story that is gonna have people worried, and possibly get PETA and other groups after them. Anyway you going to see Alice?

There is an updated news story on the kingsnake front page. The python had surgery and has been retired from show biz. Alice is going to get a new python.
