She got a tattoo down her arm. It’s a python eating a little mouse wearing a sailor hat.

Never went there but I do remember at the fair each year there was an enclosed trailer with a bunch of snakes in barrels. The smell alone was enough to make you not want to go back.

Went to New Orleans and Slidell every summer to visit family, my dad always stopped at the Snake Farm for us. One time we were in there and group of black people were taunting the gorilla, my dad made a stand back and watch, when the gorilla had enough and he Slung shite all over them, pretty damn funny

Our local pet shop kept a lot of cool snakes around.

Owners’ son ended up committing suicide by cobra in Austin. Cobra got out of the car and ran over on I35.

Super sad as the family bought the pet store as hobby for their son and they hosted some awesome birthday parties for my kids when they were little.

The cobra was not at the scene, but officers found another snake, six tarantulas and a bullfrog in Thompson's vehicle.


What a fricked up situation for the poor bullfrog

Tarantulas we’re probably food for the the snake or frog anyways. Everybody got a break except the kid and the cobra.


Kid was a bit odd but put on a good show for little kids and made it fun. He had a giant pet cockroach that he would let loose and crawl all over his face and into his mouth. Weird but kids loved it.

Heartbroken for his parents who bought it for his passion and that’s how it turns out.

There’s a Ray Wylie Hubbard song somewhere in this thread.
