Well, this is a twisted story - literally in a snake kind of way. There's a new episode of 48 Hours that recently devoted an episode to the murder of a Missouri snake breeder. Spoiler alert: he wasn't killed by snakes.
You've probably heard of the movie Snakes on a Plane. Perhaps there will be a new one called Snakes in the Bathroom based on what a Midwest family found when doing a home remodel.
It appears there are still some among us that consider themselves modern day Tom Sawyers and Huck Finns. Explorers found unmapped caves in southwestern Missouri with dead snake skeletons inside.
You can't blame the snake for trying. It's relatively harmless, but this Illinois snake pretends to be a deadly Cobra as a part of its own defensive strategy.
