I bought a`70 Blazer for parts about 25 years ago and had it stashed at my friend`s family farm.I never ended up pulling the drivetrain because I sold the Blazer it would have gone in.It was nice to know I had all those spare parts anyway.
The first year or so I owed it I stopped by and took a look in the interior.I had other parts stashed inside.I had my left hand up on the dash pad while I leaned in.When I went to leave I noticed the big black snake layin`across the base of the windshield sunning himself.FREAKED ME OUT!!!! I was always worried about seeing that snake and it caused my not to go out there in warm weather to pull the seats.I never got a chance to get to it in the winter so it sat.Finally this summer I got it out of there.My friend towed it to his house where I parted what I wanted and he got some parts out of the deal.I kept kidding him about that snake I saw 20 years ago.I found some big skins up in the frame and all."SEE??He was a biggun!",I`d say.Well...he was cutting the center of the dash (radio repair) with a Sawzall and a big black snake head popped out of a heat duct and bit at the Sawzall!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How long do snakes live?Could it have been the same one?They all look the same age to me.
