I don’t really worry about these things down here. i worry about the folks who have poisonous snakes in their trailer. First strong storm that comes through and you have a mating pair of black mamba’s in your garden.
Back in 1981, in central Colorado...there was a couple who drove up to some peak and committed suicide. The cops went back to their house and announced this to the neighbors...which some were very worried. Apparently, the couple of had around 20 various poisonous snakes....a mamba pair was amongst them. All were kept in the basement of the house. So the cops entered the basement...a bit scared...only to find all of the glass containers empty. Yep, not a single snake in the house.
So the cops called back up to the peak where they asked the deputy to open the trunk of the car. Whole bunch of canvas bags there....all empty. So....this idiot couple had let loose out in the Rockies...a bunch of exotic snakes...in April. The experts didn’t think most of them could survive out there...especially when November came. But he wasn’t 100 percent sure.
So today...almost no one out there remembers this episode. And you have to wonder...did all 20 die in the cold?
