| Thief stuffs python down his pants at pet store |
| 2016-01-13 |
| [NYPOST] A snake thief smuggled a 2-foot-long python from a Portland pet store by stuffing it down his pants. "Is that a two foot python in your pants or are ya happy to see me?" Sgt. Greg Stewart said no arrests have been made in Friday's theft. But Christin Bjugan, an owner of A to Z pet store, said video surveillance has helped viewers and police detectives identify a suspect, and she expects to have the snake returned soon. "We know who did it," she said Monday. "We know where he lives, we know where he works, we know all about him and his girlfriend. We're just waiting to get our snake back." The video shows the suspect with a blue-haired woman who appeared to be in on the theft. He handed her some keys before taking the snake from a tank and shuffling out of the store. Bjugan says it was "pretty gutsy" for the man to put the python down his pants, and potentially a bad move because it was close to feeding day. |

| #3 Actually a pretty safe move. Python only bites as part of a strike. In a constricted space it wouldn't be able to strike, so... |

| #1 Pythons have one-way teeth and strong jaws, I believe. Unfortunately, the situation didn't end up as a winner on America's Funniest Home Videos. |
