It's probably best that you not click on this. The thumbnail is the only non-disturbing part of this image.
In India, wee tots learn how to charm snakes as young as age two. It's funny because some of them don't even know how to hold their own pee yet, but they can come face to face with venomous death machines. Crazy, crazy world, you guys.

China is cracking down on restaurants that serve chickens killed by poisonous snakes. Find out how over at Metro UK.
An Australian man has been arrested for smuggling 44 snakes and lizards onto a plane (worth close to $200,000 on the black market in Bangkok, where the plane was headed). I think we all know what would have happened if he'd been able to get those snakes onto that plane. Actually, I'm not sure I ever watched that movie in the end. But I'm guessing they escape.
If it hadn't been for eye worms, I would say that this was the most disturbing thing I'd seen all week. But it's definitely a close second - the picture is of a toilet in India with a (presumably) unwelcome guest.

Translation: really huge & terrifying snake. Scientists have discovered fossils that prove the existence of a gigantic boa constrictor that weighed 2.500 pounds and was longer than a city bus. It probably ATE CROCODILES. Also, good news: a snake's size is related to how warm the environment is, so obviously global warming=giant crocodile-eating snakes. Al Gore really should have stressed that part more.

It has been raining in northeast Australia since December, and residents are on alert for snakes and other alarming animals coming into their homes in search of dry land. “A lady rang up this morning and said she had a snake in her bathroom. I said, 'Well, I've got a crocodile in mine,'” a wildlife volunteer said. “We've had wallabies, curlews, snakes and flying foxes, and that's just this morning.”
Style Buzz A spa in Israel is offering a new kind of massage: for $80 you can experience the relaxing sensation of letting an assortment of snakes slither over your body. “People either like it a lot or they hate it,” the spa owner says. No kidding.
Quite literally the scariest video we’ve ever seen on YouTube (especially if you fear snakes). We’ll stick with kittens and puppies, thanks.
