Seems Snakes on a Plane isn’t as a ridiculous film as we thought, as new research suggests snakes have been hitchhiking on planes. Feel good about that trip you’re about to take?
A team of scientists led by the University of Queensland has foun…

Grandmother pulls out two pythons hiding in barbecue like it’s no big deal
Snakes. Scary, right?
Not so frightened of these creatures was 81-year-old Australian grandmother Faye Morgan, who casually pulled out not one, but two pythons hiding in the barbecue of a Queensland home on Sunday morning.

At 99 million years old, this baby snake fossil is the first of its kind to be discovered
Palaeontologists have found a tiny fossilized baby snake, the first of its kind to be discovered.
The snake embryo, sitting within a chunk of amber from Myanmar, was preserved in the early Late Cretaceous period approximately 99 million years ago, ac…
Wounded cobra is saved thanks to spinal surgery and a very compassionate man
Snakes aren’t exactly the most lovable animals out there. When most people find an injured cobra, their first instinct probably isn’t to rescue it.
But for some people, snakes are not enemies. One snake-loving man had a chance to save a wounded…
Python somehow swallows a slipper, requiring surgery to remove it
Sure, you’ve heard of snakes swallowing possums, hyenas, and uh, other snakes.
They’re at least kinda digestible, unlike a slipper. A man from the Queensland town of Haigslea in Australia had placed by his bed last Tuesday as he went to sleep, …
St. Patrick awkwardly pointing at snakes is my forever mood

Aaaaahhhh! St. Patrick’s Day, the holiday that’s seemingly ubiquitous with bars everywhere trying to sell you green beer while drunk college students yell in the streets.
And also, snakes??
According to folklore, St. Patrick banished the snakes from Ireland, driving them to the sea where they drowned.
Because of this myth, there are a ton of portraits and prayer cards of St. Patrick awkwardly pointing at snakes, which is a BIG MOOD, especially in 2018.

Snakes move in mysterious ways, but perhaps not always as mesmerisingly as this.
A video posted on the Facebook page of Bangor Vineyard Shed in Australia shows a Tasmanian tiger snake trying to navigate a thin fence line, which looks to be pretty challenging.
“I guess when you are a snake for a living then it’s quite cool to get a perspective from a new angle now and then. But that really does look like an awkward way to get around!” the post reads.
This Tasmanian tiger snake certainly has an interesting way of getting around @bangorfarm! #WildOz pic.twitter.com/Y0OPQtuboM

Snake slithers into a Gryffindor backpack, seriously
Slytherins, always causing trouble.
In what’s perhaps a perfect metaphor for the Harry Potter universe, a snake somehow snuck into an Australian student’s Gryffindor print school bag on Tuesday.

Australian animals are terrifying enough, but it doesn’t get more unsettling than watching one of them eat another.
A carpet python named Monty was filmed devouring a possum in the backyard of Gold Coast resident Greg Hosking’s home on Monday afternoon.
“It was pretty exciting to watch. It’s mesmerising in an alarming kind of way,” Hosking told ABC News.
It took about 45 minutes for Monty to devour the possum, but we think this 1-minute video is enough for most people. Read more…
