OK, truth be told, we never caught snake #8. He tormented me. I had him once and he got out of a four foot tall garbage can with a heavy can of paint holding it closed. He would appear from time to time, just to let me know. "I'm ssssstill here." Yesterday I was at the old house gathering a few last things in the garage, and suddenly there he was, half hanging down from the ceiling, fully exposed. That was the good new. The bad was that I was about two feet from him when our eyes locked. The rest went something like this link.

He now joins his brothers and sisters in the park. And, to quote another movie:
