Snakes in Britain?

[Tracy]

On a semi-related note, I was just reading in my local newspaper that 
the Columbus Zoo is moving all their non-native venomous snakes to 
other zoos.  That's right, we will only have dangerous Ohio snakes 
(rattlers and copperheads) at our zoo.  The head reptile keeper is 
retiring, and they feel they will not have the expertise to handle 
the assorted other cobras, adders, etc.  Last year a keeper was 
bitten by a cobra - he survived.  

Perhaps they need to be looking for a Parselmouth next time they're 
hiring!
