Ten dollars say's they'll blame it on on little green/grey men

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Nope!

They will blame it on "one night stands," - at least for the next couple of days.

Experts Warn: Don't Choose Venomous Snakes


Crews in Moody are stepping up their efforts to catch a deadly spitting cobra. The snake disappeared two weeks ago and nearby homeowners are being warned to keep a close eye on small children and pets.

The snake's owner, 35-year-old David Horsley says he's starting to feel the heat from his neighbors. He claims he was practicing his Indian heritage by keeping the snake. And apparently, he's not alone. Snake ownership in Alabama seems to be on the rise.

It's not just birds, rabbits, or fish you find in pet stores these days. Reptiles are becoming increasingly popular. Shannon Bateman not only sells snakes at The Pampurred Pet, she owns one. "I think that domestic snakes, when properly cared for, make really good pets," she says.

Bateman admits snakes can't cuddle up like a dog or a cat, but they're popular for other reasons, namely low maintenance. "A snake is going to eat once every other week," she explains. "The less they eat, the less you have to clean up after them as well."

But unlike the snake that escaped in Moody, all of the snakes Bateman sells are non-venomous. Anything else, according to Montgomery Zoo Education Curator Debbi McCollum, is just too risky. "It's foolish to handle a venomous snake on a regular basis just to have it as a pet," she explains.

McCollum says many venomous snakes in Alabama are shipped in from other parts of the world. So, hospitals don't have the anti-venom to treat their bites, which is just one reason why the zoo and even pet shop owners do not recommend venomous snakes as pets.

There are currently no laws in the state that prohibit owning venomous snakes. But it's expected the snake escape in Moody will prompt new legislation.
