According to M r. Jensen the csptured
snake was about 3 to 4 years old and
could be w orth as much as 960 in a pet
store.
The brown and white snake w ill be
living much more comfortably in the
Portland Zoo. hopefully, to allow all poet

any of you in the local area ever come

A n interesting event took place at the
Portland Poet Office on the morning of
June 23rd, 1976 aa mailhandlers Herman
Briggs and Clarence Burch were unload
ing parcels from an orange nylon pouch
originating from California. T o the a-
m .« .ment of both mailhandlers and near
by postal employees a 3-foot live Califor
nia K ing Snake emerged from the pouch
causing a “scattering" effect to the em
ployees working in the area.
Fortunately, the distinguished looking
reptile had no desire to seek companion
ship w ith any of the employees as he (or
she) quickly slithered for the nearest
hiding place.
Portland Zoo keeper Lee Jensen was
called in to the rescue providing expert
identification and safe capture of the

The California K ing Snake is non poison

Needless to say it is not everyday
where one can say that a 3-foot snake
“w riggled" into the hearts and minds of
the Portland Postal employees......
