St marys island isn't even a proper island, although technically it qualifies, but it's only about 10ft from main land!
One thing that article doesn't mention is who the snake belongs to;
Missing snake belongs to X-factor star | KentOnline| News
Mike.
WTF?? Lock the door? What the blazes do they think the thing's going to do? Flip the latch so it can get in to eat Tiddles? Jeez... and journalists are supposed to be educated.... Wait, this is Kent, I forgot. :doh:Quote:
Residents have been advised to lock their doors, close windows and wherever possible keep pets inside while the snake is missing.
So are the police spokespersons who first gave that advice...Quote:

Snakes on a plane?
Not only do snakes not have OPPOSABLE thumbs, they don't have ANY thumbs at all. Still, I suppose that things mouth is big enough to go around a doorknob... :eek: RUN!Quote:

The school used to a have a tantranula, but it died and the caretaker wants to get a corn snake.
Such things would never happen in the commerial world.
Why ever not? If what the business is about is teaching kids about the world around them, then having animals to learn from is perfectly sensible. Similarly Estate Agents employ hyenas, and law firms employ sharks. :getmecoat:Quote:

I for one wouldn't find the music industry, movie industry, game industry, or other various different media related industries 'boring', and these are all part of the commercial world.
But if you enjoy working with animals you could always work in a research lab.. errr I mean zoo.
