A highly venomous Egyptian cobra that went missing at the Bronx Zoo was found Thursday after nearly a week on the lam in the reptile house, zoo officials said.

So the snake is no longer on the lam. Bet the lam is relieved.
The lam is ecstatic.
I expected they’d find it doubled in girth in a corner of the mouse house
Once it got out and did some grocery shopping, saw the price of gas, did its 2010 taxes and tried to find a job it realized it ain’t so great on the other side of the cage. I think seeing the incoherent Obama Libya speech as it slithered past that big TV in Times Square is what finally convinced it to go back and curl up until 2012.
I wouldn’t expect it got too far. Snakes are homebodies anyway, and especially this time of year. Looking for the nearest quiet heat source to the cage usually works, like a washer or dryer.
he couldn’t stand the liberal atmosphere.
Best laugh I have had all week.
In a few years, we should know whether or not it laid 6,000 eggs while it was free.
i would have figured it would stay somewhere warm, these things cant stand the cold.
Post of the day!
