Mayor Mary allows people to keep snakes in Madison??? Surely not!

How about me, your wife and this snake I just found?

If you lived out this way, it would not be funny! We have real forests and thousands of trees just in yards near Reunion. When was the last time this boa constrictor ate? Do we need to keep the dog inside? Who is looking for it and where? Good grief! The whole thought of this is terrifying to me!

I hope that came through anonymous. I had to try three times to get through the hyroqlyphics and use a magnifier.

Since we're right in the middle of alligator season, will the legislature authorize DWFP to add additional officers on an emergency basis? Which night can we expect to see Bert in hip-waders interviewing the Madison County Sheriff, the silver-haired guy from Game and Fish and someone from the Zoo?

No one will ever see this bad boy again. Too many places to hide. It's Fluffy season in Reunion...

Aren't boas particularly attracted to pineapples?

Oh, I'm being eaten
By a boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor,
And I don't like it--one bit.
Well, what do you know?
It's nibblin' my toe.
Oh, gee,
It's up to my knee.
Oh my,
It's up to my thigh.
Oh, fiddle,
It's up to my middle.
Oh, heck,
It's up to my neck.
Oh, dread,
It's upmmmmmmmmmmffffffffff . . .

"No, not the toe-sucker..." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Now a word from our sponsor..."

Priceless, Kingfish! Bravo!

Oh, yes, this will end in tears (and chokes, gasps, and death, like as not)! What kind of idiot keeps a lethal snake as a pet?

My tennis team is scheduled to play a match Friday morning on the Reunion courts. Need to re-read the JLTA day-league rules to see if we must forfeit if a player is strangulated by a boa constrictor.

Boa might want to play mixed doubles.

9:17 When snakes are outlawed, only outlaws will have snakes.

I hear that's not the only snake on the loose out there...

Strangulated?? Really???

strangled/suffocated. Get over it.

ok. everyone put your keys in the boa

Bill Dees - It's a word.

I've been away from MS for a while, so I feeling out of the loop. Which candidate was a "toe-sucker"?!

3:07 a former governor (Dem variety)

seriously, do these things know how to hiberate? will the first freeze kill the serpent? they can kill a wide variety of small animals. my ex bro in law had a huge one and it took three or four rabbits periodically to nourish it.

@ 2:52. I agree that it's a word - it's just the wrong word as used in the comment.

4:48, the bad freeze down in Florida a year or two ago killed some of them, but plenty survived. I'd keep the weiner dog on a leash for awhile...

Maybe they should call in the Turtleman to rouns it up.

The escaped snake has started it's own twitter account @PuppyTheBoa.

Not to worry 4:48. According to WLBT, this particular Reunion boa constrictor is a member of the John Arthur Eaves, Jr. household.

He answers to the name of "Puppy". Don't worry about the rabbits, but you might wish to keep the
little foo-foo lap dogs in the house for awhile.

A giant South American snake is on the loose in Reunion.

Perfect situation for Butch Hammack & Bert Case
to interrupt regularly scheduled programing with updates.

3:07, currently practicing law in Ridgeland. Facts came out a few years ago in lawsuit involving a Tennessee/Mississippi trust and its trustee who evidently had interesting toes.

Haley was right about Eaves. He doesn't know what he doesn't know.

I feel extreme pain and emotional distress about this. Can anyone recommend a good lawyer to sue the person responsible?

Eaves has the largest mansion in the state, with slave quarters and a small church on the grounds, out on North Old Canton Road. Does he also own a snake house in Reunion? Dayum! Those asbestos cases are lucrative.

Lemme get this straight- So, for $400 WHOLE dollars, for its "safe" return (if I lived in Reunion), I'm supposed to approach this thing, box it up (?), and be its keeper til it's picked up? Is that what the reward is suggesting?

I would think, shotgun, boots, purse. Not, return the thing to the home that let it escape in the first place to let it get bigger for next time.

Also, he mentions in the news video, his concern (too), because he has a 3 year old daughter. Um, then why did you get it?

Not trying to be a smart butt, honestly hope it ends well. Just, what a situation..

My thoughts exactly, Stiletto.

When JAE said he was concerned for his three-year old daughter, all I could think was.....then why the h*** do you have a boa constrictor in your home???!
Obviously no common sense is being used.
Maybe child welfare needs to get involved?

KF - I think I just noted a mistake in your original post (up top) regarding Eaves' political affiliation - didn't he run against Haley in the Repub primary?

KF - never mind last post - got Haley's opponents confused....

Didn't he wear a white suit and drive a white Corvette, or was that ("Hello Friends") Pat Boone?

Those Reunion men really need to learn to keep their snakes in the cage.

Those Reunion men really need to learn to keep their snakes in the cage.

Hard to do considering the length. ;-)

"Is that a seven-foot boa or are you just happy to see me?" says a Real Housewife of Reunion.

So this snake was "hot-footing" away from a lawyer......

it's his son, jr.
duh...
