Cheap Motel Full of Venomous Snakes Could Make a Good Samuel L. Jackson Movie

Ew, ew, ew. This is gross and we're pretty sure we had a nightmare along these lines once, so we'll get right to it: police found 17 snakes (12 of which were venomous) hidden in a room at the cheap-o Hy-Way Motel in Fairfax City, VA. (Uh, we mean the reptile kind of snakes -- not the trouser kind).

The creatures weren't slithering around all Snakes on a Plane-style or anything; rather, a guest had apparently paid for a week in the room just to stash his snake friends temporarily.

At some point, two snakes died. Naturally, the god-awful smell of reptile corpse had started to stink up the whole place and police were called in to search the room.
