GALVESTON " A venomous snake missing for more than a week from Moody Gardens was found outside the entrance to its visitor center, where it apparently had been left, a Moody Gardens spokeswoman said today.
The 10-inch bush viper was found resting against a full-length window next to the door of the visitor center about 10 p.m. Friday after Moody Gardens had closed, spokeswoman Jerri Hamachek said.
The snake was discovered missing Aug. 8 from the exhibit it shared with five other vipers in the rain forest pyramid, a structure that is separate from the visitor center.
Galveston police began an investigation that included lie-detector examinations of Moody Gardens employees after discovering that someone appeared to have tampered with the lock to the enclosure.
No further information was immediately available.
Oops, sorry. I thought this was a thread about George.
@Intrepid,
George Gobel? George Elliot?
