The Great Escape

There are two main theories as to why there are no snakes in Ireland.

The first is that St. Patrick banished them all.

The second is that during the last Ice Age, there was a land bridge connecting France and England and another connecting Ireland and Scotland. The snakes slithered from mainland Europe to England, but by the time they had gone all the way North to Scotland, the land bridge had melted. Snakes never left Ireland; they never made it to Ireland in the first place.

Personally, I hope it was the second one because as we all know from the first post moving species is never a good idea. St. Patrick, please, the snakes will get their own shit together, just leave them be.

Anyway, however this happened, all the hard work is going down the drain. Some eejit (that's Irish-English for idiot) couldn't take care of their pet snakes and let them go. Or so the papers say...

I think that the snakes hatched a great escape plan. I mean, really, what's worse than being in a foreign country in a little glass cage? So they all got together and ran away. However it happened, now there are wild snakes in Ireland. Sorry if you were planning your next vacation there.
