I really liked the part about the "southeastern cobra that is from this area"! Too funny!!!

What idiots!!
This is really more common than you might think it is. There was a storage building opened in the Dallas area a few years back that had quite a few rattlesnakes and others in it. A friend of mine who is the Pres. of a local herp society housed them all for a time until they could be found new homes.



Also curious as to why this is in the colubrid forum.
