I ran to the doorway and looked downstairs to where they were calling from and this is what I saw...

You've got to know that I hate snakes. Elder Huntsman, who lives in the apartment below, loves snakes. We have had some heated discussions about whether snakes were good...or bad. I don't give in easily on this one!
This one happens to be an anaconda and he was big, black and slithery. I get the creeps just thinking about him.

Elder Huntsman was determined to pick it up and play with it for a while. Check the tail of the snake. It worked it's way right into his mouth. Look how fat that guy is. I mean the snake, of course!

Then, of course, Elder Barton had to get in on the act and play with it, too. I'm still shuddering as I look at these photos.

Check out how long he was...I think about 12 feet long.

When they had had enough fun playing with it, they pulled out a huge knife and with one wack, Elder Coronado chopped off its head...and wasted no time in getting it skinned.

Notice the skinned snake is hanging from the staircase to my apartment. It was there for several hours until it began to smell! I don't know what happened to the snakeskin but I know they saved some of the snake so they could cook it and say, "I tasted anaconda!" The rest was thrown back into the trench.

I learned later that the snake was acquired from another elder and had taken up residence for a while in our building before its shocking introduction to me!

wild story - glad you are safe! That is one large snake and not the type that we want to meet when we are at home. We pray for your safety.
