Wessie P. Thon might actually be Wessie A. Conda.
A Texas scientist who ran tests on a large snake skin found in the Maine city of Westbrook says Tuesday the tests came back as “100 percent from anaconda.”
A big snake caused a stir in Maine when it was seen this summer eating a beaver along a riverbank. The discovery of a 10-foot snakeskin this month indicates it’s still lurking locally.
Locals dubbed it Wessie. That spawned a parody Twitter account called Wessie P. Thon.
University of Texas at Tyler biologist John Placyk (play-SIK’) performed the skin test. He says Wessie’s behavior corresponds with that of an anaconda. He’s says it’s possibly an escaped pet.
The Wessie Twitter account tweeted Tuesday that the news was causing “a mid-life crisis” for the reptile.

People need to avoid releasing non-native pets into the wild. The scary part is the snake did not die last winter. It will continue to feed on other animals until someone finds it and kills it.

Well if the snake ate a beaver it will still alive now but if the snake ate Hell-lary it would it been dead by now and rotting from food poisoning

Is the snake a female with yellow hair did the snake had on its back a pict of a gun with a circle and a line crossing the circle? Did the snake gave lectures for 600 thousand dollars? I think I know who the snake is and where she is now. What they found was not the skin it was her expensive dress paid by tax payers
