I remember when I was in college, a friend asked me to take care of his 6ft burmese phyton while he goes to a 2-week vacation and just after a week my mom went inside my room and saw the snake, she nearly had a heart attack! That same night I had to find another friend who was willing to take care of the snake. It took me around 5 hours looking for 1 though because during those times mobile phones were so expensive and I didn't have 1.
