I don't know if this got posted elsewhere in this site, but here it is.
I have two questions after reading this post:

1. How did the owner let it get this far?
2. Is that a woma?

1.The owner must have been afraid to grab the tongs after the snake had it or left the rodent scented tongs in the cage perhaps?
2. Yes it is if you look closely in the video it says woma python in the "paper" ad

Ok. I was fairly certain it was one, but didn't catch that in the video.
