I heard this story many times. I always thought this was a really cool legend. When I had kids, I told them this story, they think it is funny. I will enjoy telling it to my grandchildren.

A story like this is just too much fun NOT to embellish. I bet the snake found its way to some a dump that was just lousy with rats and lived out the rest of its days in perfect -- and useful -- contentment. In Japan, guns are illegal, and the yakuza smuggle them into the country. One year, a man imported a number of poisonous snakes, secreting guns in their crates, which obviously were not well searched. The yakuza then released them into the woods, and for months after, people reported seeing exotic snakes. It made for a LOT of paranoia -- and some great stories, too!

My husband killed a snake at our cook-out the other day by dropping a cinderblock on it. The snake's head kept thrashing up through the hole in the cinderblock, striking. Actually, it made me sad. So let's envision a happy ending for this mythical python. Hmmm. This article says that pythons are happy when they are warm in the sun, and when they get to swim. Well, duh, who isn't? http://ezinearticles.com/?How-To-Keep-Your-Python-Happy&id=644963 So, let's say some lonely little farmboy found his dream pet in a field one day and gave that python a home where he was fed (don't ask what, please) regularly and allowed to sun on a big, warm rock, followed by a swim in farmerboy's kiddy pool. They grew old together. The End. :) Wow. My husband killed a snake at our cook-out the other day by dropping a cinderblock on it.

He's probably covered most of the continent by now and is down in the depths of Argentina, taking care to stay out of the sight of humans.

I wonder what happened to it? It most likely sought out a cave to hibernate in during the cold season, and froze. Someone will find those bones someday! (and flip out, lol!)
