Police in Upper Macungie Township, Pennsylvania said an officer shot a man's pet snake after it wrapped itself around his neck and would not let go.
Police said they asked the dispatcher to repeat the call because it was so unusual. Nickischer said the snake did not die right away.
"It wasn't like it just died. It started to slither away, luckily away from the officers, away from the direction that they were trying to pull this gentleman." Lt. Nickischer said. "They realized it was a matter of life and death with seconds to make that decision. Praise the officers. They did what they had to do. It was a safe shoot."

Rattlers keep A friend of mine as a pet.
Toilet snakes are bad too. But email snakes are the worst.
That’s what the nice cold CO2 fire extinguisher is for.
LOL!
Cats and dogs will eat their master.
I have always wondered how you shoot for center of mass on a snake.
My male Burmese python started at 18 inches and was 5 ft a year later. My wife was dangling a medium size rat in the snake's terrarium when it latched onto her hand between the thumb and index finger. I lifted the snake out of the terrarium and gently unhooked the teeth from my wife's hand. That was her line in the sand. We found a new home for "Monty" with a childless couple experienced in handling pythons.
you knew damn well i was a snake...before you let me in....
Sad snake story
And the owner was unconch-o.
So unnecessary. The snake was just beginning to turn his life around, and was planning to enroll in art school in the fall.
I know a man who kept some cobras in a building behind his house. One day he and his son were going out there, when he discovered the large male cobra was loose.
He told his son to get in the house, and the father was also running to the house to get his equipment to capture the snake. The cobra was following them.
His son got to the house first and closed and locked the door. My friend was hollering for him to open the door.
When I was on a business trip to Shanghai in 2001, our Chinese hosts took us to a popular local restaurant there.
One of our hosts asked, “Would you like a snake?” (They really do eat weird stuff and that was mild in comparison.) Out of curiosity, I asked, “What kind of snake?”
“A long one,” was the reply.
We politely declined, which we would have done regardless of how long or short it was. 😄
This could be murder...maybe the snake identified as a woman and as his wife. Could be...everybody has their own notion of their perfect squeeze.
ah ah, watch it there, cowboy. email is one of the 743 officially recognized genders.
“Officer, that man showed me his big snake.”
So they summoned an officer from their Sex Crimes Division to ID it.
My container ship was shuttling in Asia. One 20” container had live snakes.
