一条无毒的三英尺半长的球蟒在夏威夷凯穆基的后院被捕获，房主将其误认为是儿童玩具。 A non-venomous, three-and-a-half-foot ball python was captured in a Kaimuki, Hawaii backyard after the homeowner mistook it for a child's toy. 官员们相信这是一只逃跑的宠物 Officials believe it to be an escaped pet. 蛇在夏威夷是非法的,因为它们对当地野生动物构成威胁。 Snakes are illegal in Hawaii due to the threat they pose to native wildlife. 那些被非法动物抓获的人将面临长达5年的监禁和20万美元的罚款。 Those caught with illegal animals face up to five years in prison and a $200,000 fine. 然而,大赦方案允许所有者在不受处罚的情况下上缴非法宠物。 However, an amnesty program allows owners to turn in illegal pets without penalties.
