In what area of Dallas? Hopefully, far far away from where we are....North
North Dallas/Collin County...:-) Liz "Don & Lisa" wrote in message . .. Do you live in the Dallas area? There is a cobra loose in a condo there. For real. They have no idea how it got there. It is illegal to own, so no one is going to step up and say it is theirs. Where is a mongoose when you need one? Head butts to all, Lisa. "lrulan" wrote in message ... Well, the big scare really didn't involve me, but it was still quite scary. In the evening news, there was an item about a cobra being spotted in my neck of the woods. It wasn't in my subdivision but in the same area where I live. Witnesses said they saw the huge snake with it's jaws open to its widest capability and it was swallowing a cat! The cat was not moving or struggling, so it was already probably dead. Anyway, they're still looking for the snake. A family in the neighborhood said their cobra had died during the winter and they had buried it. Some of the authorities thought it might not have been dead, and had been revived by the warmth. I hate snakes, so this didn't sit well with me. I went to sleep, and guess what, I had a nightmare. I dreamt the damn cobra had entered my house and was going after Jazz. I grabbed him and ran out to the garage and closed the door between the garage and the kitchen, but the cobra was trying to get out through the door! Then I woke up. Man, my heart was beating a mile a minute. Did I mention I hate snakes? They haven't found the cobra yet.

Be glad you don't live in Guam. They have an imported brown snake problem there that would be all over the news if it happened in the continental US. I just mentioned this in a post yesterday. The brown snakes have no natural predators in Guam and their population has exploded. Yes, they are very destructive. However, I thought that in more recent years, the people there had started to resolve the situation. Joyce |

Be glad you don't live in Guam. They have an imported brown snake problem there that would be all over the news if it happened in the continental US. These things will climb light poles and short out the power to a neighborhood. Spotting one is a common event. Worst of all, they will swim up a sewer pipe and appear in your toilet bowl. That doesn't happen often, but once is too much for me. Regards, Purrs, and Hisses, O J Gritmon |

I'm scared to death of snakes. If I lived in this condo complex I would have moved out already. Bob -- Somewhere in Texas a village is missing it's idiot. ANYONE but Bush in 2004! |

Good...OakLawn is far far from me...... we had a Sonora Desert Snake get in(in our West Texas home) a couple of years ago.....It was HUGE! and scarey!(they aren't supposely poisonious but their bite is bad...they also eat small kittens and pups!)..It wrapped itself around the hall stool and when I was trying to herd it out in got into the water heater closet(which had a hole into the wall/attic!)When the snake guy got there he couldn't get it out...said there was stuff on the market to drive them away from a home but nothing that would get them out once there...Agggghhhh...He also informed us, that it most likely had been a pet that got mean and agressive and was released(he'd gone on two snake call a couple of times the week before), he also said that they usually paired up! Later that night we heard cats growling and Damn! there was another(different size)..we got that one out! All spring summer and fall we swore we could hear it in the walls and attic!!!!!(we assume he finally left via the dormer vent or froze when winter hit) I still get a creepy feeling(when at home there) that Mr/Mrs. Snake is still about! Bbbbbbrrrr...:-) Liz "Bob M" wrote in message ... ":-)Liz" wrote: In what area of Dallas? Hopefully, far far away from where we are....North North Dallas/Collin County...:-) Liz Oak Lawn.

With all the other snakes in Texas does one cobra make that much of a difference? Now that snake that comes through the toilet, that's scary. Makes the dangly bits scrunch up thinking about it. |
