Snake loose in Toronto apartment building
November 5, 2010 - 1 comments
Toronto -- Residents of a Toronto apartment building said they are on the lookout for a 3-foot snake loose in the building.
Notices have been posted on walls and the 20-story building's tenants' association Web site urged residents to be on the lookout for the albino California king snake, which experts said is not poisonous and does not pose a threat to animals larger than rodents, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Thursday.
The snake, which escaped from its owner's apartment, can go up to a week without eating, experts said.
"I can't go to the bathroom without thinking it might be in the toilet or something," resident Karynah Zeh said. "Which is probably totally untrue, but you don't know, right? All those stories that scared you when you were a little kid."

1st of all Kings can go several MONTHS without eating...
2nd they pose absolutely zero threat to any animal OR rodent larger than an adult middle finger
the bite of a Kin is similar to that of a minor paper cut... how do i know... i own several of them and for over 10 years :)
