Culture Buzz I am awed by this snake’s ability to defy gravity. Because really, how else can you explain how a limbless creature is able to climb a vertical face? I guess if you don’t like snakes, you’ll probably want to double check your weather stripping after watching this.
Culture Buzz A 16-foot long Burmese Python that had recently consumed a 76-pound female deer was found in the Everglades this weekend. The snake was one of the largest ever found in South Florida. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Until it fell off onto the highway. It was probably looking for this guy. This water moccasin slithered his way across the front of the car at 65 miles per hour. The fact that the driver didn't pull over and allow the snake to slither away safely has prompted widespread outcry. (via reddit.com)
Culture Buzz Does sinuous snakes slithering over your body sound soothing? I'll stick to human masseurs, thanks.
This is a metaphor for how sometimes people think you are something that you are not, but then how I will kick that person's ass if they try to cross me again. You know who you are, motherfucker. (Just kidding! This is not a metaphor for anything except how snakes are obviously not the smartest animals.) Via @aptpat.
Culture Buzz Today is a sad day. The snake that bit that model’s boob has died of silicone poisoning. UPDATE: REJOICE!! It was all a lie! The snake is alive!!
Snake snake snake snake snake snake. The girl who used math doodles returns with more accidental learning.
From Queensland, Australia. This is most likely the coolest picture you'll see all day.
Video of a very brave person cleaning out a rattlesnake den from a garage in Scottsdale, Arizona, yesterday morning. The snakes were unharmed and will be relocated, so , yay, snakes - but Jesus. This was like watching a horror movie. (Via.)
The Palestinian civil servant who raises these snakes recently fed a lamb to this Burmese python which was “hardly bigger” than his two year old daughter. He's thinking about making her a saddle, perhaps so that she can enter Pythonine competitions once she's a bit older.
The toilet anaconda in this story is unlikely to be the same anaconda as in the video below, which means we may have an epidemic on our hands. Don't bathe your snakes in the toilet, people. Use the tub! (More Toilet Snake buzz.)
A woman giving a bath to her pet python. Terrifying as the prospect of having a giant python in your bathtub may be, the rapport between this woman and her ridiculously oversized snake is sweet.
Celebrity Buzz A snake decided to drop by Salma Hayek's interview. She promptly found the nearest exit (via Maya Rudolph's shoulders).
For every act of interspecies love, there is an equal and opposite interspecies fucking BEATDOWN. This is a real “wait for it” video.
An Australian man discovered this cute little guy in his toilet bowl. The python had slithered through the sewage pipes for a visit.

10-foot pythons are breeding, killing people, & roaming the Florida Everglades b/c dumb pet owners set them free years ago. Now, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has declared it Python Season (on March 6th) where anyone w/ a hunting license can go shoot the bastards down!
Po the Pit Viper is a heavy smoker (seriously). Besides that, he's very healthy. He doesn't even drink!
What if homey's dad stuck his fingers up butts for ca$h? (Seriously, though, colorectal specialists do incredibly well for themselves.)
