5-foot snake found outside Long Island home
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I'm sure the snake was in fine humor until someone tried to capture it.gsabc wrote:Along with an even more agitated 5-foot, 4-inch homeowner.

Why is this news? AJ said it!
We only had Cleo's brother Disco for 4 days when someone neglected to weight down the top of his house & he was GONE without a trace when we got home.
He may have gotten outside. He may have gone down the furnace vent & then on to Snake-Heaven. He may even be still living in our walls, getting fat on any bold mousies that try to get in (probably not; its been about 7 years!) The snake-rescue guy we consulted said one of his clients did recover a lost pet snake from his walls after a solid year -- alive & well & fat! LOL
But the his most likely fate was becoming cat food -- the cats hung around the door to that room for weeks afterwards! Probably hoping for another treat! Although we never found any physical evidence of kitty-on-snake violence, so we'll probably never know.
It's a mystery. It's kind of sad. It was $60 down the drain. But news, it ain't!
