Don't Have a Hissy Fit

I'm glad we don't have Rocky the Python living at our house anymore.  He was very nice to Linda and never bit her or even threatened her.  (There was one time when she was throwing his food into his cage and he struck out to get his supper and almost hit her hand, but he was sorry.)  I've told the story before, but in case your a new reader, Linda got rid of him when he tried to eat her kitten. Poor Pumpkin was having a hissy fit and Linda heard her crying.  She rescued the kitty in time, but she wasn't taking any more chances.  We are hoping the pet store found a good home for him.  He was only 36" long, just a baby really.  This week, Florida officials captured and killed a 16-foot-long Burmese python that had just eaten an adult deer.  When they measured, his waist was 44" around!  I don't know why they had to kill him dead though.  There are plenty of reptile zoos he could have been sent to. This isn't Rocky, but it's the same size and looks exactly like him.  If it was a Chip Cat vrs Rocky fight, Chip would have won paws down!
