wow, cobras? really? uh... those aren't even native to this continent.

yep, apparently they don't like how "moist" eastern kansas is. (and that's entirely a relative term, because the humidity isn't really that much greater, but apparently it's just enough.) being non-local definitely excuses it, but really people in the state, even the moist parts, should be aware of the things that can kill you in your home region. cause from Kansas City, it's not as far west as you might think before you'll start encountering them alongside the road when your car breaks down.
