Uh-oh. I'm probably gonna' be in trouble

It would be here, any escaped snake has a big chance of making the news. Police here knows nothing of snakes, we only have 3 native species and those are very rare and endangered. You will only see them if you actively go looking for them, which is not allowed because you get fined for disturbing them haha.

For example: This is how an article about a found 1 foot long cornsnake would start: -'Unknown potentially Dangerous 5 foot snake found NEAR CHILDREN'- A potentially dangerous snake has been found in the proximity of a school, the snake is most likely an escaped exotic pet and the police is looking for it's owner. A snake expert has been contact to collect the animal. - Followed up by terrified parents blabla..... heh...Yea..... Even if there is an expert present telling them the animal is not dangerous, they still get 80% of the information wrong. Any escaping snake here, is devastating for the hobby.

Then again, i am not American. People here are not used to snakes.
