Background:

Background: Wildlife officials seized a 400-pound python from a Florida home on Friday.
Delilah, a pet Burmese python, was removed from her chain-link cage in her caretaker's backyard -- shortly after she finished eating seven rabbits for breakfast, according to the Orlando Sentinel. The snake measures around 18 feet long

"To me it's a Goliath. It's a monster of a snake," Florida Fish and Wildlife investigator Rick Brown told the newspaper.
A complaint spurred authorities to inspect the Apopka, Fla., home. After seeing the pet snake, some officials called Delilah the largest python they had ever seen.
Delilah's current caretaker, Melvin Cheever, said his brother raised Delilah for 16 years.

"She is as docile as can be. She's as happy as can be," said Cheever of the giant reptile.
Officials placed the python with a caregiver, while they determine if Cheever has the proper permits to keep Delilah.

If he is allowed to get the snake back, with or without any new conditions (i.e. permits, new cage, etc.) then the question will settle as YES.
If he is not allowed or if there are no new reports or updates on this story by 11/25/09, then the question will settle as NO.
