A Mouse on his Muscle in a Glass Case
A Nashville drug clerk kept a four foot rattlesnake in a glass case with three other snakes, detailing its shedding, diet, temperaments, and battles within the enclosure. The tale includes the heroic struggle against smaller snakes and the creature’s eventual death, plus side notes on the McArdle case and local ethical debates.
