Snake tacos, or snake & chips. Oh, forgot that coronavirus snake connection, don’t eat the snake folks…

I love that the main focus of the article is “But how are the snakes?”

I would hazard a guess that its a snake breeder or collector and decided to get rid of it without bothering to sell them or give them up to a rescue. Or could be someone that stole the animals and decided to ditch them.

And really, who among us can say that she has not, at one time or another dumped bundles of live snakes in pillowcases outside public service institutions?

Maybe it’s the snakes’ parents, who had heard about humans leaving unwanted babies in front of fire stations?

So wait, where exactly are we supposed to leave our live snakes in pillowcases?

Snakes don’t belong in pillowcases. They belong in pits. Pits that contain biblical secrets, pits that explorers fall into, pits for Sigenot to toss people into…
