Wow... he was getting it out to hand to a friend and they found the guy with the snake around his neck when the paramedics got there...
Where the hell did the friend go?
He just let his buddy be killed by a freakin snake?
What a douchy move...

 

The authorities are trying to find a good home for the snake if anyone is interested.

 

I'd take it, but I'd rather nobody that lives in my house be strangled by a snake...

 

Karma is not his friend. 1 point for RaE for saying "douchey" and making me laugh. :lol:
