"Cardboard wings and green party streams" were attached to the mice. Classy.
Here's hoping that The Big Picture has a feature on the sky-party-drug-raver-mice-bait.

The rub is that apparently the presence of this snake is a result of a human slipup to begin with. Maybe it's just an attempt to clean up after yourself, or maybe it's an attempt to stuff the genie back in the bottle. I feel like it would take a non-trivial depth of understanding to know which way this situation leans.
