A woman "held captive" by a Burmese

It will be your only "lucky day"

Now, to say that is kinda rude, but ok. Lets not hope that my one lucky day in life is to post a video before someone else does.

wow didn't know an 11 foot burm could take down a human. if you are skerd for you life and your in a car, why not just drive away?! or am i the only one left with common sense?

Or get out on the OTHER side of the car and walk away. My guess is, the "Expert" is a guy from the FWC with a roll of 20's in his pocket and a little note that says,"Love, HSUS"... Something smells funny about this...

[greghall]

well I admit it was funny but that just gives more fuel to the fire! I think half the time those things are staged!

This is how bad press gets spread around, people fear snakes for stories like these... recently though, I met this shrink (not for me, trust me! ) who said to me that sometimes people need to have fears to keep a balance in their life... or something among those lines. Strange, but that's human behavior for 'ya!

There is a shark in the ocean and im on the beach..............help help it is going to eat me. Anyone notice how aggressive that animal was? Yeah 3 untrained individuals put it in a can and it didnt get aggressive once.

"shakes head"......and then a wildlife guy says your lucky because it is hungry...........example here again of how Reality stands no chance when perceptions are trained and skewed.

Yea, it didn't even make an aggressive movement, it didn't even lift it's head up I don't think.

I'm pretty sure the whole thing was staged, everyone was so scared of the snake but then it's so aggressive and it might eat you that we'll hold it up to take pictures. I think to many people have seen Anaconda too many times. Mmmm J-Lo.

i admit, a few months ago if i saw an 11 foot snake of whatever kind outside of my car i wouldve been "trapped" inside too. I can understand her perspective. The fear of snake is really deep seeded in most people.

Snakes have suc a bad stigma attached to them that and i'm pretty sure they always will. They might be the most hated animal in america, hands down.

Nothing to get made at, it is what it is.

i-n-g-l-e-w-o-o-d! :d

I couldn't find anywhere to comment on it, darn it. lol

[Denial]

Does anyone else not think this seems rather "FISHY". I mean I understand the fear of snakes my entire family hates them But this is not adding up right for me. Did it never occur to her to maybe back the car up and run over the snake?

[Oxylepy]

God i hate Florida so much right now. Hopefully they'll secede from the nation.

Its not because of her being terified of the snake, I've had my moments when I was paralyzed with fear because there was Jell-o near me, but because Florida is trying to ruin everything it can for the herp community. God I want to go and just smack all the people they have in political office in the faces with a 2x4.

This is why BG believes this woman may have been a "plant". She could have driven a distance away and then called 911.

Well, it was certainly lucky for her that she 'just happened' to have a video camera on her cell phone. It appears that she must have gotten over her fear just in the nick of time too, because it looks like that footage was filmed outside the car. Hmmmm.
