If you’re a tough guy whose into gardening and you think that garden gnomes and flamingoes border on the pansy side of things, how about adding a Giant Burmese Python Snake to your garden’s repertoire.

Not only will you be attracting a lot of attention from your neighbours, you’ll also get a hefty number of reports from animal control groups to get rid of that scary, slithering reptile, until they visit your lawn and realize that the Giant Burmese Python Snake in your garden is only a replica.

A double take is expected, but every now and then expect a scream of fright, but will you be held responsible for the monthly number of patients that fainted from fear that are reported near your garden’s vicinity?

At nearly eight-feet long, the snake replica is made of high quality resin and craftily hand-painted to the most intricate of details.

The product is available from Toscano and costs roughly $400, a huge price to pay for a fake snake; but the look from your shocked neighbors — priceless.

But if you’re not willing to be bugged by neighbours demanding that you pay their medical expenses after they’re rushed to emergency rooms, you might want to try something safer, yet still fun from Gadgetepoint.
