so here's the story. one of the guards was patrolling by the soccer field next to my house in the wee hours of the morning. he found the giant snake and radioed for backup. pak kur and pak sariman came. with a broom. pak kur got bit. but it didn't leave too big of a mark. after they caught it, they wrapped electrical tape around its snout to keep it from biting anything else.
school decided to keep the beast. all 10 feet, 20 pounds of it. in the dorm. the GIRLS dorm of all places. they're building a cage for it.
but last i heard, the tape around its snout had somehow slid up and over its eyes, so now there's concern that if they remove the tape, it could blind the snake.
stay tuned for updates.
this reminds me of one time when i was in my early teens... i was mowing the lawn and ran over a garter snake. i really like snakes. and i felt pretty bad about it, because i basically took off the upper third of the snake's head. i left it there, thinking it would die soon. that night, when i went out to feed the goats, i found the same snake curled up in the barn. it was a pretty chilly night, and i was so guilt-ridden that i picked up the snake and stuck him down the front of my shirt with his head poking out my collar until he died. i had a very odd childhood.
