YEEPERS

If this had happened to the Swordmobile, Disney would have had to pay a hefty seat-cleaning bill.

Thessssssse hybrids are getting a bit exotic.

[Brian]

Yeeeesh!

Last night I saw this show on a couple in Swaziland who are the local black mamba rescue and removal team. Seemed like a fun gig.

Untreated bites are 100% fatal, they like to move to cool dark places (the snakes, not the couple) like houses, hotel rooms, basements, beds and clothes hampers, and showers, they grow up to 13' long and can raise their little snakey bodies up 4 or 5 feet.

Nothing about engine compartments though.

[MOTW]

Albino S van Bonnet ... gnf what?

[trustf8]

Exotic is right: Is that a one-eyed snake?

[MOTW]

"They beat a hasty retreat ..." but not before taking a cr@p-cam photo, eh? Or is this one of those re-enactments, with a sstand-in ssubstitute ?

[Meanie the Blue]

A windshield viper?

[Phil]

The blind date from Hell, personified.

[Tash]

That is one stiff viper!

..... Walter?

... and this time you'd need Disney to get you the clean underwear, Dave.

[dolphan72]

Why does that snake look like a salami stuffed in a white sock?

[Tash]

Albino squirrels, albino snakes..... everythings... turning... white!

[ScottMGS]

They were safer *in* the car!

[Allen at Division]

I'm pretty sure I saw that movie...

[spazztic]

The 4-foot-long albino reptile emerged from the bonnet of James Denton and Morne Aspeling's van....

Seems natural to associate snakes with a name like ASPeling.

[mudstuffin]

i think i saw that movie too. i think that john holmes was in it...

[Diva]

Clearly they belong in Slytherin.

[queensbee]

wait, i'm just looking for my friend beany!

[CJrun]

Meanie stole my line, so I'm not gonna play.

[MartiniShark]

Hey, as long as it keeps those damned window-washers at the intersection away from my car I'm fine with it.

[gjd]

CJ whined first about Meanie stealing the line, so now I'm going to pout.

[Clankazoid]

Snake: " Check your oil, sir ? "

[Siouxie]

*snork* @ Meanie!

I thought it was BOB.

[nursecindy]

Since I'm a lady I'm not even going to say what I thought it was at first. Probably the same thing that Siouxie thought.

[Roy Campbell]

Snake? Snake! SNAAAAAKE!

[bonmot]

good one, mtb!

[The Other Steve]

When I saw this pic I thought it was Walter!

[danceswithvowels]

♫ Oh, I could write a sonnet
♫ About a reptile bonnet
♫ And of the girl I leave, while bravely running away.

'Twould be a song of soiled doublets, no doubt.

[NotSherly]

Also *snork* at Meanie.

I had this guy (or gal) on my windshield last week.

[bonmot]

"Whitesnake" would be a good name for a . . .

never mind.

[bonmot]

"Whitesnake" would be a good name for a . . .

"Whazzat? Oh."

Never mind.

[kswheels]

Tell me I'm not the only one who thought that was something other than a snake at first.

[RedRat]

While the albino snake was an interesting, albeit short, how come you didn't check this one out:

[Renee (the First)]

Multiple *SNORKS* at Meanie!

[pogo]

"A windshield viper?"

Holds Bic aloft toward Meanie.

[Cheryl Howard]

Walter?

& *SNORK* @ Meanie!

[Meanie the Blue]

Holy smokes - shares some snorks with CJ & gjd, anaconda I hate to see them whining and pouting.

[Tash]

I, for one, am SNORKING at Sharkie.

[Siouxie]

cindy, I too, am a lady or I'd comment that the snake looks 'ribbed - for her pleasure'....

[Mercutio of Verona]

Apparently, these two men pitched a hissy fit upon seeing the snake.

[nursecindy]

True Siouxie. Of course as good Catholic girls we can only go by what we've heard.
(dodges lightening bolt)

[Loudmouth]

Gets paid scale to creep out yokels.

[dancesmitvindowvipers]

Key quote from RR's thingy: "When he looked down, he saw the big snake." Who among us hasn't used that line?

[Loudmouth]

EEEEVE, haaave aaan aaapple. Yesssss?

[MartiniShark]

I'd rather have a frontal lobotomy that a bonnet-snake in front of me . . . or something like that. (needs coffee)

[trustff8]

Found info on the web about our little friend: thought i'd share ;)

NAME: "Expecteria Trouserius" (Trouser Snake)

LOCATION: Throughout the world

DESCRIPTION: Varying from pink to black. Fang-less with a highly venomous spit. Size varies from 3 to 12 inches, depending on its mood and sub-species.

SYMPTOMS: This snake attacks mainly women in the lower frontal abdomen, resulting in an inconspicuous bump. Then a severe swelling occurs followed by excruciating pain after nine months. The attack is not usually fatal. It has been known to attack men in the lower posterior section, resulting in an incurable disease and consequent death.

HABITAT: Usually found in bedrooms, but has been known to appear in the most unusual places.

ANTIDOTE: Various types of vaccine available for women. However, once the venom is injected into the body, only drastic measures will ensure complete recovery. There is no known antidote for men.

* WHAT TO DO WHEN ATTACKED *

TOURNIQUET: Do not apply a tourniquet as the venom is too deep in the body to be affected.

CUTTING THE WOUND: This would be completely unnecessary and ineffective as the initial bleeding will stop after a few weeks anyhow.

SUCKING THE WOUND: This method is the most popular with the victim, but so far has not been reportedly successful.

MILKING THE SNAKE:

1. Place four fingers of the right hand around the neck of the reptile,with the thumb in the front.

2. Grip firmly and move the hand in an upwards and downwards motion.

3. This will result in the snake becoming highly aggressive, starting to spit.

4. The time taken for this milking process depends entirely on the milker and the last known time the snake attacked.

5. Once milked, the snake should be harmless for about 15 - 20 minutes.

CONCLUSION:

This snake, although it is very aggressive and active, is not necessarily a vermin and when treated with the right kind of respect, makes a wonderful pet.

[Mercutio of Verona]

BRILLIANT, trustf8! (wild applause and loud snorking)

[Siouxie]

Thanks for sharing, trustf8!! LOL

[nursecindy]

Excellent trustf8. However I've heard a few snips decreases it's venom a lot.

[rick the ick]

sorry people...didn't realize i left my pants unzipped

[dancesmitvindowvipers]

MartiniShark needs coffee? Or something stronger, since he's getting old. Happy Birthday, old todcodger!
