An anaconda snake is loose in New Jersey's Lake Hopatcong, and a local reptile expert said Friday he's breaking his silence after animal control told him to keep quiet about the dangerous reptile. "I've known it was an anaconda since last week, but I was told by animal control and state police not to say anything," Gerald Andrejcak, who works for Common Sense for Animals, told The New Jersey Herald. "Officials were afraid that if it came out that the snake was an anaconda it would cause mass hysteria. It needed to come out, it is a public safety issue."

It would seem that the house was built on an ancestral denning spot.

That would be like having a houseboat and complaining that spawning salmon were bothering you.

[if people saw me putting on heavy leather gloves to pick up a Garter, I’d die of shame]

the next 25 winters will be brutal according to WeatherAction.com. The basis for Weather Action predictions are the varioius solar cycles and historical cycles. His predictions have be correct very often so far.

People who keep snakes as pets need some serious mental evaluation.

I am very easily bored by gross ignorance but it was a nice opportunity to have a bit of fun with my herpophile friends.

Piers Corbyn says that the overall global climate temp is supposed to drop for the next 30 or so years.

We can count on Weather Action, Weather Bell (Joe Bastardi), Piers Corbyn, and both farmer’s almanacs being correct most of the time.

There is a guy I know who is a Warmista and I hope he stays around for the next 25 winters to experience the “warming”!

Sorry Sal, I posted on early comments on the thread and didn’t realize you were already a participant.......

The snake did not need it’s diaper changed, so BP just waved it through...

Well it will be frozen snake in the lake come winter so by next summer it will be gone.

There should be laws against selling female snakes in the United States... Especially in Florida where the damn things can reproduce and set up house keeping.
