Forget Snakes In Planes; They're In Our Rental Cars Now
We’ve all received rental cars that had a less than stellar appearance, especially when it comes to the car’s interior. Besides the many lovely odors, stains are the rule rather than the exception. Above all, our favorite is when former drivers have decided to install some type of foodstuff into the upholstery. Thankfully, despite all our rental car troubles, we’ve never received a car with a living critter inside. However, that’s exactly what a Florida woman found when she rented a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
Last week a college student hopped into her rental ride, and immediately hopped right back out. There was a red rat snake just hanging out on the dashboard of the car, and at over a yard in length, it was not a welcome surprise. Luckily, the snake wasn’t poisonous, and the rental car company sent out an animal trapper to capture the stowaway.

Aromas -- This cigar and wine bar is a great place to try new things, like men. 4372 Southside Blvd.
Sneakers -- Cheat on your diet or your spouse at this oceanside sports complex. 111 Beach Blvd.
Wasabi Japanese Buffet -- Sample king crab claws, sushi or a May-December fling at this Asian smorgasbord. 9041 Southside Blvd.
