[Starstruck]

No problem. I have a 50’ snake for my bathroom. Wait you mean live? ....................... no probably in the inches range.

[saganite]

Woman reports a 12 foot snake that’s really only 6 feet. Think about it.

From the local paper.....

...she called 911 and soon College Station officer Tony Gonzales arrived.

“When the officer showed up, he came with a brown paper sack,” she recalled.
“I told him, ‘you’re going to need a bigger sack than that.’”

[Ditter]

I am with you. The best snake is a dead snake. Sorry Sal, I guess I just wasn’t raised right.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Hey, snakes gotta go, too!

Just make sure they don’t use up all the toilet paper.

[Salamander]

Tell me about it!

People find ‘em in the Walmart produce section, garden centers, basements, bathrooms.

I just went looking for rat snakes in the woods.

No luck.

Sheesh!

[Salamander]

Bet on it.

;D

[Salamander]

I couldn’t find a free snake in the Arizona desert.

Lousy luck!

:D

[TigersEye]

I’ll, uh, have to keep a sharper eye out next time I’m in Wal-Mart. (gulp)

[Salamander]

Well...if you *do* find one....

;)

[Salamander]

Avoid the rattlers, please

But if you find a gorgeous albino corn snake, let me know

I’m starting to think that snakes enjoy shopping.

I know that my Bob loves to shoplift stuff in PetCo.

At the checkout, I have to wrangle all the stuff he’s lifted from shelves from his coiled tail.

[I’m not sure what he was going to do with catnip mouse toy or a Hamster water bottle but he sure didn’t want to let go of them]

[Altariel]

It’s obvious he planned to use the hamster bottle to lure neighborhood rodentia, and the cat toy to lure the neighborhood cats within coiling range. :-)

He’s been around da ebil Dobermans too long. Already you must thwart his schemes.

[TigersEye]

Good grief! I like sneks but now I'm a little afraid to go to the store. Everything in its place ya know. lol

Should I reach for an avocado and draw back a large Serpentes you will certainly be the first person I think of. At the very least the second person after I get the produce manager to scan it and tell me the price. ;-)

[Salamander]

Well, he’s locked in a BoaMaster enclosure so his fiendish schemes are all for naught.

[unless da ebil ones figure out how to open the door latch]

[Salamander]

Oooo!

I’m actually giddy with anticipation!

Lord knows that *I* won’t ever find one just lounging around some store.

[Altariel]

Oh, great........

[Delta Dawn]

My question is:

How did they know it was an African snake?

Did the tribal robes give it away?
