Snake on meth cured by cons

What's not to love about this story?


Drug-addicted python rehabilitated by Australian prisoners

When Australian police raided a crystal methamphetamine lab last year, they may have been expecting to seize kilos of narcotics, drug-making equipment and piles of cash.

The search uncovered something else: a 6ft-long jungle python showing visible signs of addiction. It had apparently absorbed drug fumes and particles through its skin.

Seven months later, the "very aggressive" snake has returned to normal behaviour under the care of 14 prisoners selected to work in a wildlife care programme.

On the question of how to recognise the signs of addiction in a python, the mind just boggles.

If there were problems keeping order at the prison, would they make the supervision of the cons stricter?

I doff my hat, sir.

I too doff my non existent hat.

A hiss of approval from me too. The scale of your punnery knows no bounds...

Coming to a TV near you...

Snaking Bad!
