Summary
Semi Truck Crash Oceanside California in Oceanside, California: A snake rescuer named Joseph Barrios was doing snake education at the Oceanside Pier on a Sunday night. While he slept near his car, a thief stole a black Puma duffel bag containing four ball pythons (Cheesecake, Luna, Bumblebee, and Twinkie) in locked plastic enclosures. Barrios searched the area, found no sign of the snakes, and filed a police report. Snake experts warned the non-native snakes could survive for months if released, and Barrios expressed concern about cooler nighttime temperatures affecting them.
