“The motor was making a hissing sound …” Can anyone here identify this guy? He came to the motor shop inside a motor fan. He’d been there a while:

No rattles or fangs found, but we may not have found all of him. I’m thinking bullsnake.

Laying a tape alongside the body and head we measured about 5 ½ feet, so he was eating size when he passed away.

so he hung around (and around, and around) for a while?

In my head is a cartoon of a very alarmed snake the first time the heater got turned on after he went in for a nap... Wish I could animate it, 'cause it's hiLARious...

One of my best friends just lost his dog to a snakebite. A very affectionate young red and white husky that I adopted to him. I can only wish that the snake that bit his dog ended up in as bad a shape as this one did.

Can't identify it, but from the head shape, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a viper.

I have a pet garden snake (he lives in my step). Hes the F150's mascot. The 240sx has a toad. I <3 all the little creatures.

But in all realality, If a snake bit my dog, I'd kill it.

Lol-I just rode the GRAVITRON at the local fair a few days ago. I had fun telling the 9 year old nephew about all the cool things you could do if you rode it late at night.

does anyone know what the rpm & radius is of the gravitron? can't be more that a couple - few g's?

we built a centrifuge at work with an 8 ft arm. 18g is about 81 rpm and scary as hell.

sorry for the thread jack, can you.make a belt?
