This guy will come to your house to drop off a forest cobra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyab2yfb9PQ

If the cobra stays alive and in your master bathroom (or whatever is closest to a master bathroom in your home) for the next 3 months, you will get $2M tax free.

You may continue to use the bathroom or not. Your choice.

You may use anything currently in that bathroom to seal the door, ducts, etc. or build a habitat for the snake. You cannot bring anything new into the bathroom, other than a moderate amount of food for the snake.

You cannot build any new walls or snake traps or anything like that outside the bathroom either.

You and everyone who regularly lives in your house must spend at least 80 of the next 90 nights in your home.

Do you accept? What's your strategy?

We barely use our master bathroom, so this is an easy one for me, particularly in January. I get the shit that I need out of the master bathroom. I put a bunch of snake food in there and seal the door as soon as the snake is delivered. And as an extra precaution, I shut off the heat to the house. (I'll just use space heaters in the bedrooms.) Most likely it will be so cold that the snake will just brumate for the next three months. If it wakes up and needs some food, food is available.

The one wrinkle is that many snakes will only eat live food. If this snake falls into that category, it's a bit more dicey. Maybe I could put a breeding colony of rats in the same enclosure as the snake along with a bunch of food and water. But honestly, whatever. If the snake dies, it dies. The likelihood of it trying to bite me when it is sealed in the bathroom at a low temperature is very low. Most likely it will simply brumate the entire time. My understanding is that snakes can go months without eating during brumation.

What are you sealing the door with? You can't use anything to seal it that isn't already in the bathroom.

And no bunches of food either--only a moderate amount.

Shutting off the heat is OK. But, will your pipes burst? There is a good chance you will either kill the snake or send it out of the bathroom looking for heat. They're from Africa and not used to the cold.

Are you still in?

I would have to do some research to see the temperature at which these snakes brumate. If it's fairly high, it might be sufficient to just lower the thermostat. But yeah, I'm still in. The risk of a snake bite is nearly zero at low temperatures. Worst case scenario the snake dies with no harm done. But many snakes can go months without eating while brumating, so I would gladly deal with a chilly house for a few months for a chance at a couple million.

180! Snek would be chillin in my giant empty tub and kept fed with dead whatever rodents he wants. Would keep some water for him in the shower pan. No way he’s getting into the exhaust or HVAC ducts 15 feet in the air and in the middle of the ceiling, so no worries there. Nice sun beam through the south facing windows through most of the afternoon, so he’d be warm and chill.

Family would use one of the many other bathrooms. Easy $2 mill and shave a bit off the retirement timeline

180

Are you putting towels around the door or anything, or are you just going to slide and let do?

Seems pretty close to the rule against "new walls or snake traps or anything like that outside the bathroom." And how confident are you the mongooses will get the snake before he gets you?
