I did much like Mark V, looking for the bird. When you mentioned snake, I was looking for a politician!! LOL Many yrs ago, WWII, our solders where sent to south America, where they have BIG snakes, one of them stated that the snake he saw was 40' long. It scared a lot of troops going into the jungles, so our president at the time, made a law, anyone that finds, and kills a snake over 30' will get lots of money. (forgot the amount, think its $100,000). To this day no one has collected on that law.

I'd think if that's for real a snake that big would have eaten everyone by now. 🤔 Guess it would make good bait for the 4,400 lb giant ocean sunfish🎣🎣

Guess I'm weird. I like snakes. Years ago, I lived in a lightly developed area and had a lot of trouble with voles and gophers. I caught several gopher snakes and turned them loose in my yard. My Wife wasn't too keen on the idea, but we dramatically reduced our rodent problem!

I suppose that the snake that started this thread would be useful if you had a problem with too many burros!
