abstract
  • The species is often discussed, but rarely seen. For example, several members of the Abercreek Conservation Society have discussed a few rare sightings of the reptile by local citizens, who professed to have spotted a specimen in their toilet flush basins just prior to activating the flush cycle. One notable example of an extremely large specimen, some two-and-a-half feet in length, was once circulated virally, but proof of the "Super Hog"-sized specimen has since vanished, and the story passed into legend. This is contrary to the smaller or more minute subspecies of the Texas brown snake. The smaller subspecies, also known as the "Joshua snake," is primarily found and handled by small children and teenagers playing in their back yards or wooded areas near their homes, as the brown snake can find refuge there from larger predators.
