It's a strange but factual story..

Major snake infestation..

I saw it yesterday on one of the media sites but I can't be bothered to start a thread, I just smh & waka pass..

I think the number is sky-rocketted,why exactly 85,why not 77,73 or 69 . .exactly 85,like the snakes have been sent to bring items for sacrifice

Langtang, Kanam and it's environs are very notorious for a high population of poisonous snakes in it's ecosystem, esp during this time of the year (dry season). The indigents know this so I don't know why the incidence should still be this high

This is serious! U mean 85pple

snakes been fighting wit humans since garden of Eden(15Bc)
