Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh
Oh good grief-- one of my friends just called me about this. This is just a county over from us. I'm still trying to figure out why someone had this snake in their car and felt the need to stop at Walmart!!!

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh
We'll see how the story unfolds. My impression is, the owner of the snake was carting him around in the car for some reason and stopped at Walmart, and then the box was stolen. But who knows what they'll eventually turn out to be the truth. I'd like a description of "box"-- do they literally mean, a cardboard box?? Or are they just calling the container that?

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh
Yikes!! Fer-de-lance are extremely dangerous, and from what I've heard, the worst thing is that their bite is practically painless, so many people die from it before they even realise they've been bitten!!
 Apparently in their native habitat they are one of the top causes of death!

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh
jeez.....the snake owner wasn't too smart in stopping off to do some shopping while transporting that snake....needed to get to point a from point b right away to avoid something like this. gives us snake owners a bad name. the genius (much sarcasm there) that stole the snake just might show up soon....at a hospital or dead!!!!

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh
I really expected to hear something about it today, but there is no update. And when you click on Wavy Tv's home page, it doesn't even mention it. So they are either keeping it quiet for some reason, or they found out it was a hoax... last night they said the local hospital, Walter Reed Memorial, did not have the appropriate anti venom, the closest was in Florida. But that's the very last I heard about it. Even if it was a hoax, I'd think they'd bring charges against who did it for wasting the police's time, right?
