Snake Found in Missoula Ice Cream Shop

There's a snake in my ice cream parlor!

No, seriously. There was a snake in a Missoula ice cream parlor last weekend.

Only out west does a snake show up in the ice cream shop. - Dawn Gillman's Twitter

Minnesota State Representative, but more importantly, the mother of Montana Grizzly star running back Eli Gillman, Dawn Gillman, posted a video on Twitter of a wild snake slithering on the floor of Missoula's downtown ice cream shop, Sweet Peaks.

That is definitely not something you see every day, that's for sure - even in the West! It made for a fun video, and fortunately, it wasn't a dangerous snake. One of the tweets said it was a bullsnake. I had to take their word for it because I don't know much about snakes.

Come to think of it, I don't know much about anything.

Sweet Peaks or Big Dipper?

This part of the article has nothing to do with the snake video. I'm also not trying to start an ice cream war, but what is your pick: Sweet Peaks or Big Dipper?

Big Dipper is the more prominent of the two ice cream shops, but I think both are fantastic. I go to both places. I choose which one I'm going to based on my location. If I'm downtown, I'll go to Sweet Peaks. If I'm on the Hip Strip, I'll go to Big Dipper.
