Escaped 20" Egyptian Cobra at Bronx Zoo. All over the TV. Over 400 news articles so far...

Thats no big deal. AZA are the professionals. Everything is under control.
It would have been a disaster if it was a privately owned snake because then the entire city would have had to have been evacuated. Dont worry, be happy.

I'm not worried at all. My point being the excessive amount of unnewsworthy news coverage given the issue.

John,

Can't speak for him, but I think wireptile was being facetious given how many academics, scientists and zoo professionals not only seem to be exempt from any hysteria we hobbyists are subject to, but also that many of these "professionals" are the ones targeting us because we are "irresponsible."

That was a long run-on sentence, hopefully it was coherent...

Thanks,
Ed

Have you ever seen how many snakes they have at the Bronx Zoo?? They're hoarders!!!

Bronx Zoo Cobra Found Alive

LOL....or one that looks just like the one that got loose...eh?

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Obtaining a new specimen just like the escaped specimen and then publicly claiming, "Voila!, it has been recovered! , would be the most efficient way for media damage control and end the negative media publicity.

hahaha.....check all sales of that species the past week........there maybe an undisclosed buyer......

professionals???........INDEED!!!!!......LMFAO
