Your support makes all the difference.Video has emerged of a man stealing a snake from a pet shop, by stuffing it down his trousers.
Surveillance video from A to Z Pets in Portland, Oregon shows the thief lifting a $200 python out of its glass tank before surreptitiously putting it down his jeans.
After hearing that the two foot long black pastel ball python was missing, store owner Christin Bjugan spotted the man while reviewing CCTV footage.
She told Fox News 6 that the operation might not have gone so smoothly if it had been a Monday.
'He's lucky it wasn't feeding day. Feeding days are on Mondays. And they're very hungry,' she said.
Police are still looking for both the suspect and the snake.
