I have a Big Problem

Now I’ve never been one to fear much of anything, but if I’m a 500-pound, 33-foot anaconda, then HOW FREAKING BIG IS THIS LADY????

    Snake-let! How cute! They usually have adorable little smiles (or smirks) on their faces.

  2. Debbe says:

    WANT!!! Lil snakeys are so kewl!!!

  3. Dona says:

    That’s not a snake. That’s a worm dressed up for Halloween. Gotta be.

  4. Anne Boleyn says:

    I love me a snake, especially a snake-let.
    And that person’s feet look as expensive as mine!

  5. Metz says:

    *Er, is it just me or are they making them more realistic these days?

    At risk of causing suspension of disbelief….

    Might I point out, that in this case, the leettle word “if” is….
    actually a mighty big consideration, in this interesting fable.

    (But then again, I myself CHOSE a career in literature, so who’m I to quibble?)
    ;)

    EEeeeee! Eety beety snakerson!

    I think that’s a baby grass snake! Grass snakes are kyoot.

  8. Jody says:

    Um…. sorry but yuck!

  9. Gwyn says:

    OMG that’s so cute! What kind of snake is it?

  10. cath says:

    Mwah! Beeg keeses for teh snakey!

  11. Once A Fish says:

    You’re right– those stripeys are VERY intimidating (wink wink). If they were to open up like that dinosaur in Jurassic Park then he would look like a tiny cocktail umbrella.

  12. Lalaith says:

    Awwww!!!!! Widdle biddy snakey poo!!!!!! *grabby hands*

  13. Christabel says:

    Awww. I’m normally scared of snakes but I like the wittle guy.

  14. Jess&Friends says:

    Aw so tiny! So cute! Too bad we didn’t get any mini-tongue action. Maybe next time. Sssssss : P

  15. Rhea says:

    Looks like a little ringneck snake.

    Now put it back where you found it. (Could be somebody’s mom is doing pretty well there. Mine would be on Pluto if I handed her a snake, even that size.)

  16. eastiegirl says:

    If only snakes stayed this size. Cute!

  17. Caitlin says:

    It’s a ring-necked snake (Diadophus punctatus), and he’s fully grown!

  18. Allie says:

    Itteh bitteh snakeh >_<

  19. claire says:

    That is one small snake

    !!:)CUTE:)!!

  20. Zeki says:

    Aww, little Northern Ringneck! That’s an adult. :D They’re in my yard all the time, and once one was in the coffee…. o_O; They are super-cute, and they spray musk when they’re scared. :3

  21. Copperbat says:

    Tee hee. It’s a lil’ worm-snake. :D

  22. Thanks for the link Rhea these are interesting little snakes they only get about 12 to 15 inches long.. pretty small really for a snake. And very cute!

  23. BB/VA says:

    Ringnecks are beautiful little snakes. My husband caught a couple – they were solid black except for the gold ring around the neck. He let them go after a suitable examination (and using them to torment his mother, who is near-phobic about snakes of any size).

  24. Jiffknee says:

    Did Celia finally get her tresses chopped?

  25. Theresa says:

    Teeny-tiny-toony!

  26. Valerie says:

    LOL…some of the responses…@Metz…looks like a gummy worm..tastes like dirt,…hmm

  27. Paunchie says:

    What an adorable little snake! I likes!

  28. tracylee says:

    teeny lil’ ssssssuper guy!

    oh, yeah

  29. Hon Glad says:

    Verily I say unto you, beware the beast that crawls on its belly, even if it is kinda cute.
    I am not liking the snakes, I think its an inbuilt self preservation, folk memmory type thing.

  30. Wheekie says:

    I could do without snakes in the world just fine, thank you, but I have to make an exception in this case! This little guy is CUTE!

  31. claire says:

    I may be small, but I am a great big helper!

    !!:)CUTE:)!!

  32. Megan C. says:

    They are cute! I have seen many of these.

    BUT I shall have to warn you, if they could get their bitty tiny mouths around a human finger at all, they are actually rear-fanged snakes.

    [You mean their teeth are oriented so they point inwards, the better to guide their dinner down their elastic throats? I think most/all snakes are like that. It doesn't mean they can't simply let go, though. - Ed.]

  33. Jakie the Snakie: he is so Qte;
    He scares me to death, it’s such a hoot!
    I disappear, whenever he comes near
    Though he’s ‘dorable, I have to scoot!!!!
    KTHXBAI………

  34. Kristy says:

    Ooh! Cute little Snakey McSnakersons!

  35. Alana H. says:

    To clarify, it is a baby ring neck and probably the smallest I have ever encountered! And I did put it back safely out of harms way :)

    And yes, I do have biiiiig feets :P

  36. pushy mcshove says:

    trufax about lady anacondas: they mate with several males at a time. saw this once on Nature, and it looked like a Madonna video. maybe it was and i’m nearsighted…

    they also kick their kids out the nest (home? burrow?) at a very very young age. no mom/kid bondin’ there.

  37. darkshines says:

    Loving the orange wing collar, thats one fashion forward snake! So cute!

  38. MM says:

    Looovvvveee little snakes!

  39. Beavis says:

    I’m disappointed. All day, and not one Frank Zappa reference.

    Sheesh!

    [Why? Snakey's too small to be hungry for hot rats... - Ed.]

  40. Renae says:

    Snakelet!!! He’s so sweet. I love snakes.

  41. corianne says:

    Snakelet McSnakersons! So prosh!

    CO has had me reliving my childhood lately–this reminds me of tromping through the (unused) feedlot, looking for snakes.

    I have a very understanding mother.

    The busdriver, after our finds “escaped” on the bus after taking a trip to school for show-and-tell on the other hand…

  42. Jodi says:

    I love Ringnecks! They are quite possibly my favorite snakies. When we were kids we used to catch as many as we could and then wind them all around our fingers – usually 5 or 6 at a time. Fun! But, then we would let them go, of course. They are the cutiest!

  43. ash says:

    Oh how I love to play with the snakes in my yard! Their all ‘quit it lady!’ tryin to be a snake here!

  44. dr. berthaservant says:

    evil, even small

  45. darkshines says:

    You know what else is evil? Stealing someones well known screen name to post a trolly comment.

    [I'm sorry, are you the one who sees folks' email & IP addresses? I really thought that was me. :( - Ed.]

  46. I hate this. ew! i don’t like to see that animal. So, scary. Even how small that is, that can still make me freak!

  47. Roketto says:

    Aww, cute little Ring-necked Snake.

    I caught one of these once. In my part of Florida, they’ve got a bright orange collar, & red underbelly, I believe.

    Thanks for the breath of fresh, non-fuzzy air, C.O.! We need more cute reptiles on this site, don’t listen to all the nuffers.

  48. Sporkles says:

    what a cutie! I just want to snorgles heem, but he’s so small, that might hurt him. I will have to be happy just looking at the picture.

  49. Kristabelle says:

    Cute McSnakersons!

  50. darkshines says:

    Ed, no, but I have been posting on cuteoverload for many years and I am familiar with regular fellow posters such as berthaservant (who used to be berthaslave, but changed). If indeed, I have misunderstood the situation and that IS our long time poster, then I apologise to the forum and to you, but still hold my view on the comment itself. However, if it IS someone using a similar screename, its pretty low…..

  51. Erica says:

    Wah! I can just hear the Ehn! Ehn!

  52. Rooanne says:

    “Maybe my intimidating stipeys will scare her away” – that made me laugh. Tough little mini-snake!

  53. melissa says:

    ahhh enough with the snakes i don’t care how “cute” they are!! my tummy flips everytime there’s one on here

  54. ding says:

    Yay! Unusual cute! Think of how small its food must be. What does it eat? bugs?

  55. JanoBean says:

    I found one of these guys in my bedroom last summer! I wanted to catch him and put him outside, but he darted down a hole in the baseboard.
