2 Year Snake Lease
Car dealerships get a lot of different visitors, but for the employees at this Ferndale Honda dealership never expected this…
Employees were not sure how to handle the 3 foot long Ball Python that was found near the building yesterday.
Ferndale Honda president, said the snake was found by the front door. So he put it in a box and started trying to find out what he should do with it.
He said he called the cops, but they wouldn’t take it. He called the Michigan Humane Society, but employees there told him they only take cats and dogs.
“What do you do in a situation like this?” He asked.
He decided to put the snake in his car and drove to the Detroit Zoo, which to his surprise also would not take the snake. A customer service representative from the zoo told the Free Press it does not take animals from outside the zoo unless they come from other certified zoos.
Although the zoo would not take the python, a couple of the zoo employees decided to take it off Pernik’s hands. One of them told Pernik he has an enclosure and lights that are good for a snake, and Pernik said he figured if the man worked at a zoo, he knew how to take care of a snake.
