HEHEHEHEHEHEHE.....

The snake was shedding and slightly underweight.

Slightly underweight? That just struck me as an odd comment. What is the right weight for a 5 1/2 foot Columbian Boa?

What is the right weight for a 5 1/2 foot Columbian Boa?

Before or after it’s eaten?

[Don Corleone]

The department says an animal control officer found a giant Columbian rainbow boa on the floor. The snake was shedding and slightly underweight.

It was taken to an animal care facility and bit a handler.

If the owner doesn't show up by Friday, the snake will go to a rescue group.

Plans are to give it amnesty under Obama and Boehner's general amnesty solution. It is expected to get a California drivers license and a motor voter card soon.

If the owner doesn't show up by Friday, the snake will go to a rescue group.

Or possibly to the U.S. Senate as a replacement for the retiring Barbara Boxer. Come to think of it, that would be an improvement.

I was once bitten by a Colombian red tail boa and it would NOT let go. That’s a very uncomfortable feeling. Held it under water and it finally let go. I don’t like snakes!

Plumber to home owner: “What you been eatin’, boy?”

And this is why they no longer run mail order advertisements in comic books for baby snakes.

Before or after it’s eaten?

I don't really care for the the taste of Colombian Boa.

Now, a properly prepared Feather Boa tastes like chicken.

[Veto!]

LOL. Driver’s license, eh? But a motor voter card would be fine because snakes are ‘way smarter than Democrats and would never vote for one.

[Slings and Arrows]

Awww, I never find neat stuff when I plunge my toilet!

[Albion Wilde]

No wonder the stuff wouldn’t go down.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I once found a rubber ducky. But I knew it was there so I don't think that counts.

Thankfully she was NOT able to get the lid off the hamster cage.

[Slings and Arrows]

Rubber duckies eat hamsters?

[WayneS]

That’s not a snake...

[WayneS]

Cutting it’s head off would also have made it let go.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

No, but she wanted them to go swimming together. The idea was that Lucky Ducky would hold Miss Bianca up like her swim wings held her up in the pool.

I love the girls but they did give me many a gray hair!

[TheOldLady]

Ping!

[Salamander]

Two surities in my life; everybody but me meets Alice or finds a free snake.

[TheOldLady]

I dunno. I wouldn’t like to find a snake in my toilet.
Poor little snake might get a disease from the septic tank!

That would be a tragedy.
