“Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin was lunching at a Chicago eatery when a woman who lives nearby walked in and begged, “Please look at my daughter’s snake . . . I think it’s dead!” She opened a paper bag and showed Irwin the pet corn snake she was babysitting for her kid and said it hadn’t moved in hours. As creeped-out diners looked on, Reptile King started massaging the snake — and it suddenly writhed to life. “Crikey!” gasped the amazed crowd. Turns out the lady had put the snake next to an air-conditioning vent and the cold-blooded creature had slowed its metabolism to survive. “Keep it warm, luv,” advised Irwin — referring, I presume, to the snake.
SNAKE’S ALIVE!
