Would you put a snake in your pants?

Some people keep snakes as pets, I am not one of those people! It was bad enough a few summers ago that a snake was in the pool at the same time I was in it! Bad memories...let's move on. We know there are stupid people but some guy in Oregon took a really stupid award. He went to a pet shop in Oregon, took a 2 foot long python and put it in his pants and walked out of the store with it. They have him on surveillance. Putting a snake of any kind in your pants isn't very bright, but a python - really that's beyond stupid. Photo: pixabay.com/en/snake-ball-python-python-regius-419043/

What a stupid thing to do, snakes love warm places and they become very active. I cannot understand how people can like snakes.

That is dumb. I am not a snake person and I surely would not put a snake in my pants on purpose.

I love snakes, but would have issues feeding them live mice and stuff, so never had one

@DianneN This one was two feet long and I guess considered a 'baby' but it will get big.

@AbbyGreenhill They certainly do get long! To me, two feet is two feet too long!

If you want one buy one but don't steal one and carry around that 'close' to your parts.

Yeah, that was pretty dumb to do that. My son had a python for a few years, he could do anything with that snake but I don't think he would have ever put it in his pants.

He is really stupid. I wonder why the snake does not bite him. If the snake gets angry, it will probably kill him.

Certainly doesn't seem like the brightest bulb in the pack to put the snake down his pants. Aside from putting it down his pants I wonder why the desire to steal a snake in the first place
