From Times Wire Reports
Fluffy, a 24-foot python billed as the largest snake in captivity, is staying put at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.
The zoo paid $35,000 to the snake’s breeder in Oklahoma to keep the reticulated python on permanent display. While on loan last year, the python helped draw 1.53 million visitors, just under the zoo’s attendance record of 1.56 million set in 2006, said Pete Fingerhut, the zoo’s associate director.
Fluffy is about as long as a moving van and thick as a telephone pole.
