When I get into work on Monday I read the papers that the weekend staff leave behind, and in one paper so far I've come across 3 reptiles stories, one horrible, one not as horrible but still bad and a picture of an apparent "26ft" anaconda that a diver "risked" his life to photograph...
The two horrible ones were about a man who has been jailed for 18 weeks for letting his pet iguana die by depriving it of water for a month and the other was about a burglar that broke into someone's house and still a families lipstick jungle boa.
I read them in the sun but here is a link to the boa story
