Did anyone else see the absolutely RIDICULOUS story on the news today about a deadly venomous 8 ft.(more like 6 ft.) Reticulated Python that was foung by a woman in her washing machine???..hahaha!

The news anchor stated that wildlife officials were able to remove the deadly venomous retic without incident!..LOL!

In my opinion, whoever was responsible for allowing that story to "air" like that should be kicked right squarely in their A$$,...then FIRED!!!

Maybe we will get to see them for the first time on the Late Show.

DMong, as much as you THINK you know about snakes, you should never criticize the media because that reporter apparently knows more than you on this particular subject.

Yes, I built the Reticulated Rattler. Thanks for the compliments. I've been using photoshop for years at my job. I could put fangs on Barack Obama if I could find a photo of him yawning wide enough.

I think I might add the reticulate rattler to my sig.
