Yeah, I believe it, it turns out that they were wrong about how it got there, they found out, on hypnotising the woman, that she regressed and it turns out, that she was actually abducted by aliens, they planted it there, along with the chip they put in her spine to track her, and detect the snakes progress. They have since been seen in the vicinity of the said hospital, disguised in doctors white coats trying to find her, and their snake. THEY WANT IT BACK!!
Thats more believable then what was written in the article.
