They’re Getting Closer

The publicity battle continues. To gain more press, the sneaky snakes are leaving the currently alligator-happy state of Florida and are heading to Kentucky.

Ok, it's just a two foot ball python, but still... it was inside a guy's rental car!

And what do you do when you see a two foot snake draped across your car's console?

The renter thought it was a rubber snake someone put there as a joke (Who? Carrottop?) .
He then "gave the snake a pat and put the car into drive." But as he drove toward the exit, the snake lifted its head, causing quite the commotion.

You can't act tough when you are sitting a foot and a half away from a snake said his colleague.

Unless you are Austin Stevens. Or Steve Irwin. Or some guy from India.

(You know, it is officially summer, and that means it will be time for more shark news, which will be a pleasant change from snakes and alligators. I am sure you will all be happy about that...)
