Exploding snake
A news story that doesn't seem particularily notable. - Laur 15:55, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep &mdash; another interesting and verifiable exploding animal... Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 23:09, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Who knew there was whole category for exploding animals? -- howcheng  [ talk &#149; contribs &#149; web ] 23:59, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. This was an amusing news story for a couple of days, coupled with a picture that made the rounds, but really, it is of no encyclopedic consequence or interest. MCB 01:37, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into [Everglades] as the python is a non-indigenous species introduced by careless pet owners. There is a battle being waged between gators and pythons in the 'glades right now for top position on the food chain.  Rangers there have witnessed several run-ins between the preditors, and they score it at gators 3, pythons 2 (one draw). -PlainSight 02:55, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - a notable, bizarre, ?Fortean event. --MacRusgail 15:42, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - The Lord of the Everglades: The Two Reptiles, I can hear the intro music now... Alf melmac 11:09, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Blow it up, or at most, merge into exploding animals. If this is the only exploding-snake story, a mention in Everglades might be appropriate, although the exotic (in the ecological sense) status of the python there isn't very relevant to the case.  Barno 19:43, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. If it helps build consensus, I would also agree to a merge of all exploding animals articles into exploding animals -- but to only merge this one seems kind of dumb, considering. In any case, the information should be around to use. --Jacquelyn Marie 02:46, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep this fun, weird corner of Wikipedia. Un  focused  02:49, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
