"Okay one of you needs to tell us what you were----WHERE DID THAT PYTHON COME FROM???"

"Hello darlings, come on in," I say, waving a hand.

"Vent. She was sad there. Weren't you Great Hisscape?" I ask, kissing her nose. The cops are standing in the doorway looking horrified. "She's not a python, but instead a constrictor. Oh calm down sugar, she won't constrict anyone I ask her not to. But she is awfully hungry aren't you, gorgeous?"

That does not comfort them in the slightest.
