Pretty bizarre, and answers the question "Why did the python cross the marsh?"

Reminds me of an email I received recently.

Narration:

Quote:
You own a sheep ranch and you have lost several animals over time to snakes. So you install an electric fence, and you are hoping that it will work. On this morning, you do your patrol out around the perimeter of your property, and lo and behold, you find this !!!

The snake has tried to get through the electric fence and then became stuck under the fence when the electric current nailed him. Bewildered, he attacks the source of his pain.
Pictures: (warning, disturbing if you don't like viewing snakes.)

Picture one

Picture two

From Cowperson's article" "People will buy these tiny little snakes and if you do everything right, they're six-feet tall in one year. "

I sure hope they mean 6 feet long.

That's some crazy stuff right there.

A friend was telling me about this last night. I decided I needed to look that up today. Luckily all I had to do was go to Calgarypuck and a link was posted for me.
