ITALIAN police were stunned to find a hissing python guarding a stash of cocaine as they swooped on a Rome drug den.

The 3m reptile had been deliberately starved to make it all the more aggressive...Officers placated the rare albino python by feeding it a whole chicken

Snakes, why does it have to be snakes?

The Italians obviously are not up on modern police procedures. Twelve officers are supposed to surround the snake and empty their pistols into the beast. /s

“Surround the snake”, sounds like the old “circular firing squad” to me.

Hey gumbas, stunads-—a little chicken cacciatore first for the boys and later the neck gizzards for the snake. Capiche?

It weren't no snake it was a hissing “paison” guarding the blow.

The snake was watching the weed and it weren't no python,it was boa guarding a joint.

[TigersEye]

Yes, that’s how it’s done. ;^)
