An example of how to fake the snake:
"...Apparently he reconnected with an ex-GF (not the girl he threatened me over) and broke into her apartment, stole her pet snake, CAME BACK, jumped her and tied her up all the while wearing a fake
cop outfit. No clue how he got caught or
WTF actually happened. Dude had priors and was locked up for some time for that."

"The stolen pet snake makes this story completely credible because it’
s such an unnecessary and
random detail in the story.
From now on whenever I make up a story, I’m adding a stolen pet snake."
