I managed to get it in a laundry bag and transport it to the Vet School, where a student of exotic species took it off my hands for me and told me it was a Burmese python. I really don't think I have a fear of anything. I've never gotten scared over a particular job. Then there are the just plain bizarre cases, like the one with the possum. This is something you don't usually see.
Possums are very native to West Philadelphia.
But it's a nocturnal creature, and people aren't used to seeing them. Believe it or not, you can actually just pick them up by the tail and carry them right out without them biting you or attacking you. They're that scared. You can just pick them right up by the tail and carry them out. Now, a lot of people don't want to see that, so a lot of times I'll put them in a box or a trash can.
