Not even remotely close to a true story.

This is mediocre at best, it's not got any real plot. It's not creepy. It's not realistic. It's trite, confusing, and largely banal. There's potential with the idea of a town existing and it becoming infested with snakes, but this story doesn't use that idea. And as much as I appreciate the alliteration in the name, I can't let this story have a pass because of that.

Seriously the idea of a huge snake infestation is interesting. It'd be interesting to put a spin on some sort of biblical plague of snakes, or it'd be interesting for a haunting or curse or something. But this story can be summed up in three lines:

>Somewhere in South America

>Bunch of snakes

>Be careful or something
