Hilarious Story!!!

Ok so today me and my girlfriend were out doing stuff and we went to CVS. She had to pick up a prescription and we were waiting for her pills. So we just walked around the store in the men time. Well i was in the back of the store and my girlfriend was at the front when this happened. A man went up the register and asked for some cigarettes and the cashier was ringing him up when she freaked out and started screaming randomly. She then jumped over the counter towards man screaming. At this point the man jumped back and everyone was completely freaked out. the poor girl then started smashing her fist against manger's office door. The man and my girlfriend looked at each other like "what the heck?". The manager and a pharmacist came out of the office and the girl started screaming. During this whole time I was in the back of the store and could only hear the screaming and was wondering what was going on. My girlfriend then came and got me and told me to come. The manger went behind the counter and then jumped back in and screamed "SNAKE!". I was like "Oh boy...". So me and my girlfriend went over the the register and right there on the counter was a little garter snake looking at us. I asked the manger if it was ok for me to go around to the other side of the register and she goes "Do what ever you need to!". I then went around, grabbed the snake by the tail and my girlfriend reached over the counter and grabbed a CVS bag and opened it for me. I put the snake in and wrapped the bag shut. the whole time everyone in the store watching us lol. the manger goes to me and my girlfriend "Wow you have guts, I'm surprised you weren't afraid", well you should've seen the look on her face when I said I had 11 snakes at home lol.

I think its just funny what where the chances I would be there when a snake popped up and also I've ben trying to figure out where the snake came from. This CVS is in the middle of town, with a busy parking lot, main street, highway, and a few side streets all around it lol. It was funny because actually I've been thinking about getting a mate for my garter Griffen for a while. Guess he/she found me though lol. Perfect size too! About the same size as Griffen. So with no less to do I introduce to you "CVS' or "CV" for short lol!

[wolfy-hound]

HAHA! I'm going to my local CVS and see if they have free snakes on the counters too!

LMAO. What a great story, you should always QT when bringing a new snake into the collection. Hopefully CV settles in good.

That was a great story.

Yup, as I was reading I was thinking 'bet it's a garter'.

That is classic. I know several people who freak at the mere mention of my 8 snakes...let alone in seeing one. Heavy Sigh.
I have great respect for actual fear brought on by bad incidents when young, and I understand that snakes have a bad rep... but come ON people! A tiny, cute little garter??

That was a great story, and I'm glad the little one got a good home rather than a beating or worse. Good going!

I love seeing peoples faces when I say I have 28 reptiles and 22 of which are snakes. It's priceless every time.

Good story, make sure to QT. Garters are hardy, and can tend to get anywhere pretty easily. I've seen them in downtown Chicago before.
