I love how sensationalized reptile news can be. Take this article for instance. I don’t even know why it’s made national news. This is one of those things that, if it happened to most people, they would go home to their spouse and say, “Something funny happened on the way home from work today.” They wouldn’t call the local news station because it’s not news! It’s just something funny that happened on the way home from work.

In the article, the author talks about a “three-foot python” as if it were some massive ferocious beast that could eat your children. It’s a ball python for Pete’s sake! Real scary creature there!

At the end of the article the author says “she now checks around her van before getting in.” Apparently, even though this is something that happens so very little that it makes national news, she thinks it could very likely happen to her again. Maybe next time it will be a deadly corn snake. Oh the horror!

Hey! You have a snake hanging from your car!
