My wife told me a story relayed to her by one of the patients at her office. Seems this couple had a pet python for several years. It slept in their bed with them- I know, gross! Anyway, one day, it stopped eating and wouldn't eat anything for a very long time, until they began to worry about it enough to take it to the vet. The vet asked if it had begun doing anything strange, and she told him that yes, it used to sleep in the bed all coiled up, but had recently begun sleeping all stretched out in the bed. The vet told them that they would not be taking take the snake home.........It was measuring her. It was going to eat her! Some things just aren't supposed to be pets.

My Father told me of a story where he and a friend were fishing a lake in Florida, they were in a wooden canoe. As they navigated through a stretch of low hanging trees close to shore, a large Cottonmouth dropped into the middle of the canoe, no doubt from them disturbing the trees as they passed. The friend was deathly afraid of snakes, and produced a 1911 .45 auto from his duffel bag. After emptying the .45 into the bottom of the canoe and not hitting the snake, it climbed out on its own and swam off leaving them slowly sinking into a So. FLA. lake full of alligators and more Cottonmouths.
The canoe did not survive the encounter,.........Snakes 1.....Canoes 0
