It was pretty creepy and crawly – even for New York’s Bravest.  Firefighters in the New York City borough of Queens found snakes and creepy critters galore when they responded to a small basement fire.  Lieutenant Ed Ireland says it was like something out of a science fiction movie.  After the smoke cleared, Ireland says he saw a ten-foot python slithering near his feet.  There were also two cobras, tarantulas, two small alligators, and other creatures.  The animals’ owner was cited for health code violations.  ***MARLAR: Samuel Jackson has already signed on for the movie.

IFC will also air a new six-hour documentary, "Monty Python: Almost The Truth (The Lawyer's Cut)" in one hour segments during the network's six day "Python-a-thon" Oct. 18-23, each night at 9 pm ET.

Some of the pythons were dumped by owners who no longer want them while others made their way to Florida aboard homemade rafts.

 British tourists were arrested in Crete insulting the Catholic church after they paraded themselves dressed  in nun attire and naughty lingerie. People who witnessed the scene called it "the weirdest Monty Python sketch ever".

Four pythons escaped from the cargo hold of a Qantas jetliner in Australia last Tuesday... The snakes apparently broke free because they were dying to check out the in-flight movie...... "Anaconda".
