This article was posted on the Bush League Breeders Club site. Scroll down to post # 16 by Bob Oblak. It seems to describe attack training pythons with operant conditioning, as a way to deter collection thefts.

I’m sorry, but that is one of the most asinine things I believe I have ever read. In a time when the hobby of keeping large constrictors is on the chopping block for just a very small number of attack incidents by these snakes due completely to irresponsibility, we have this simpleton talking about intentionally conditioning them to attack. Let’s be a little less ludicrous and just tie string to the trigger of a shotgun aimed at the entry way instead. It makes about as much sense. All I can hope is that the entire thing was written as satire. Quite frankly I think a lot of it was BS, and if he did actually have an undergraduate degree, it was a heck of a waste of the 10 years he spent getting it.
