As in like, an actual snake, not a metaphorical snake

The cold-blooded methamphetamine addict has been incarcerated in the care of inmates and guards at a prison facility for animals that find themselves on the wrong side of the law in Sydney's west.

The python was seized in a raid on a drug lab where it had developed its habit after absorbing fumes and particles in the air as the drug ice was being manufactured, the Daily Telegraph reports.

The exposure to drugs turned the usually somewhat sedate python into a snapping and snarling serpent – one of the worst to ever enter the centre.

"Normally these pythons can be a little bit snappy, they are constrictors and not poisonous, and they just lie around," he said, but this one was "very aggressive and had very erratic behaviour".

After seven months in rehab, the python seems to have licked its habit and is ready to re-enter society as soon as a home with certified reptile keepers is found through a ballot.

Mr Mitchell said snakes and other reptiles were favoured by criminal gang members and bikies as they were the perfect guard for stashing drugs and weapons as they work "as a deterrent" that stopped people accessing the animals' enclosures.

Can we just add worldwide G/A/F and U.S.A. G/A/F to the question?

It's a bit confusing.
