Bronx Zoo: 3 ½-Foot Snake Missing, But No Threat to Visitors
Officials at the Bronx Zoo say a 3 1/2-foot-long mangrove snake has gone missing, but say there’s no threat to visitors.
The zoo says the mildly venomous snake wasn’t in its exhibition at the end of the day Tuesday, and hasn’t been seen since.

The zoo says the snakes are shy and timid, and active at night.
