"Barack Hussein Obama." -> "I'm a snake, a bush cobra."
Pet store snake. Likely got out of someones cage.
Ball pythons are common pets. Not dangerous and pretty mellow.

Bill Ayres was raised in Glen Ellyn Il a mile or two over.

And Zebras are running around in Maryland!

That said your photo was of a fine-looking creature.
