South Florida’s problem with massive Burmese pythons is well known, but those in two local neighborhoods are happy to see huge snakes lurking in their midst.
Long, undulating “snakes” made of a large, painted rock for a head and smaller painted rocks for the body are delighting those who pass by a home on Pittsburgh Street in Zelienople as well as the EDCO Park swimming pool in Evans City.
Sandy Armstrong said she and her longtime friend, Jodi Correll, of Harmony, saw the idea of a rock snake on Facebook in June, and decided to create one.
