Snakes on a Mother Fucking Train.lol
GENEVA (AFP) - A Swiss regional train has been blocked for nearly a week after a pet snake slithered from its owners' clutches and hid in the partition walls of the carriage, a local rail company has said.
"We immediately took the train out of service," Eric Luthy, a spokesman for the Neuchatel Regional Transport company, said Thursday.
Since last Saturday, reptile experts and infrared devices have been unable to find the cold-blooded adder or coax it out of its hiding place with juicy bait.
Although the snake is not regarded as dangerous, passengers "wouldn't understand" if the train was put back into service with the 80 to 130 centimetre-long (2.6 to 4.2 feet) reptile slithering around, Luthy explained.
The rail company hopes to claim compensation from the pet owner's civil liability insurance
