Snake Found in Bananas in Wyoming Store
In Wyoming, C. H. Stockwell found a young snake among bananas for a customer. He captured it in a fruit jar for display, noting the reptile is about two feet long with a dog-shaped head and diamond black spots. Names like spitting adder and boa constrictor were suggested. It likely came from the south and traveled far in the banana shipment.
