JUPITER, Fla., Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Reptile dealers and hobbyists in Florida say they've set up a "retirement home" for Burmese Pythons following a U.S. ban on imports and sales of the snakes.
The Burmese Python Initiative has been set up in Palm Beach County out of concern owners may abandon their snakes if they have to move out of state for any reason, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Friday.
