| sounds like a hognose, although it does say it wasn't venemous :S the rspca is keeping the 'rescue' snakes in the basement of our vets, it's a sham, but at least they aren't putting them to sleep. |

| Sometimes snakes escape, it happens. I don't believe they should make it sound so sinister esp as the man obviously wasn't hurt. You don't get things like "Sharp clawed, slit eyed mammal found lurking in bushes by suprised sunbather, the animal was believed to have belonged to a neighbour" for a cat (although it would be true). |

Dialogue:
"Sir, we've got an escaped snake in a bin"
"Secure a 1500km area, armed snipers at each corner."
"Roger that"
Oh God I love the British police. What idiots. |

| I find it amazing they make such a big deal of a snake escaping, and yet believe it or not many more dogs escape from thier gardens than a snake escaping thier viv/terrarium. |
