    People have had them for pet's and they either let them go or they got out on their own. I never understood why anyone would want a snake as a pet.

      well i'll tell you.. I appraise houses for a living.. one morning in a nice townhouse development in Boca Raton... I went do an inspection.. and that includes walking around the inside and outside of the house.. I want to see in EVERY ROOM.. but always knock when a door is closed.. (that's a different story).. the young very attractive lady with an eastern European accent that lived in the house.. told me not to be starttled when I open the bed room door.. well I've seen about everything.. there in the middle of an ALL TILE room walls ceiling floors on a large pillow was an (she told me) 18 foot burmese python... with a rather large lump in the middle.. she said he'd just been fed and was at that point harmless if I wished to touch him.. I DECLINED .. but ask what he ate.. she bought 50-75 lb pigs LIVE an placed them in the room.. the room was tile with a drain in the floor so the could hose it down AFTER..

      well I asked why she wanted a snake that big.. turns out he had special coloring an was very valuable as a breeder. zoos and private owners from all over the world shipped their snakes to be bred.. .. at a very healthy fee.. plus pick of the litter..

      SHE HAD PAID CASH FOR THE HOUSE.. in the 400K range.. and did not work..

      I still have pictures of that snake on an old computer in the spare bedroom.. and that was at least 10 years ago..

      one of the most memorable inspections I've done in my 25 year career.. almost as memorable as walking in on 2 70+ people doing the horizontal mambo.. that was in the first year and the reason I KNOCK..

            no.. no nightmares.. . they had sold the house.. and the realtor told me they had already left for their son's house.. and the mover would be there in a couple of days to get the furniture.. so I picked up a key ( which I no longer do-- my time is just a valuable as a realtors--he can meet me at the house).. thinking the house was vacant..... made sure the key opened the door and did my outside inspection... then entered the house.. to walk around and going to the master bedroom.. I opened the door.. the bed was directly in front of me.. he's on top.. and cannot see me.. his hearing aids are on the nightstand so he cannot hear either.. but she can see me.. and becomes very animated flailing around arms and legs and screaming at the top of her lungs.... I think for a brief moment HE thought they were reliving the FIRST TIME.. he probably would have paid me to walk in on them once in a while....

            after things calmed down.. she explained they wanted to spend one last night in the house they had owned for almost 30 years..

            and for 70+ you could tell in her younger days .. she turned heads..
