Snakeskin Found in Bag of Potpourri, Snake Believed to Be on the Loose
NBC New York ^ | Tuesday, Apr 2, 2013 | Roseanne Colletti

Posted on 04/02/2013 10:10:51 PM PDT by EinNYC

A woman who found a snakeskin in a bag of potpourri believes the snake escaped in her Long Island home and is now hoping to the creature out and capture it.

Natalie Malik tells NBC 4 New York she bought the bag of potpourri on Saturday and poured it into a bowl that was on a table in her Levittown home.

She was sleeping in the next room with her two dogs when they were all startled by the sound of something falling.

When Malik went to investigate, she found pieces of potpourri in the floor, and an 8-inch long snakeskin in the bowl of potpourri.

"It was still fresh," she said.

Now she believes the snake is loose in her house, and is trying to lure it out with crickets, a mouse and glue traps.

"I just want to tell people to 'check your potpourri,'" she said.

Thank you for the prayers.

Unfortunately his cleverness and wanderlust bit him in the butt.

Right now we’re going through the usual going-off-feed that Ball Pythons do during this, their breeding season so it’s not helping that he’s not eating.

He’s in raised temperatures to boost his immune system and gets shots of antibiotics.
He puts up with it very well.
He may even vaguely understand it’s to help him...at least I hope.

That’s the best I can do for him except to love him for however long he’s with me.

At least he got to know a life outside of a cramped breeding tub.

It’s been a really lousy year, as far as losing loved ones goes.

Sadly, sorrow is the price of love.

Yoiks! So sorry about Alice. Prayers for his recovery.

Sorrow truly is the price of love.

>>Sadly, sorrow is the price of love.<<

No truer words were ever spoken.

And that holds even if your *kids* are of the two-legged variety.

Spring is around the corner and with it, hope.

{{{Hugs}}}

*Millie Kayes swallows the head of a 12-foot python*, is the caption of that image

The problem with that career is when ‘they’ outlaw swallowing the head of pythons because it is demeaning to pythons, the lady does not have a whole lot of career choices.

LL comes to mind.

Oh yes....well Monica L is ‘affiliated with Clinton’.

Linda L. is ‘affiliated with ‘Harry Reems’ from the 70’s.

She created a whole new ‘method’ of ‘Lewinsky’s’.

I think her main ‘talent’ could be described as sword swallower. ( I am getting ‘close’ here) <: <:

I’ve never had two-legged kids which is probably the only reason I’m not in a nut house, somewhere.

I’d worry myself mad[der] over them.

OMGoodness! Did you finally settle on that for Jake's name? Peachy Cheeks fits, but won't the other snakes tease him for having a girly name? ;-D

Not that I would ever do such a mean thing...

Nah...I never say it where he can hear me.

As far as he’s concerned, he’s Jake.

[mighty wielder of the peachy cheeks]

Not the 40” yardstick with the straightedge strip.
