So. . .what do you do with an 8ft long Python?

Man, saving rats lol. They way you said that though, tells me you've brought it up or have at least though about it

I knew someone back in the day that had a large snake. He reasoned bunnies for food for $$ savings. It was like 1 small bunny for $5 or 4 rats for $3 a piece a week. Tell your wife she can buy some shoes with the money you'll save
