That's a Huntsman. They're harmless, just ginormous.

I have a confession to make. I own several snakes. One of which is still very much a baby, and therefore I tend to keep her in my pocket (Jacket pocket, no trouser snake for you!) so I can kinda understand where keeping a snake in your pocket is a thing, it's the easiest way to tame them before you sell them. Just keep them with you all the time while they're babies and then they get so used to the smell of you along with other humans so that when they're older they don't get stressed out and bite. I don't take them to restaurants though...

Five future leaders of America? Are any of them running? Will we be seeing a scandalous version of this in a campaign ad? Is this the beans Trump has on Cruz's wife?

"we mean two literal small snakes he had been secreting somewhere on his person (we’re assuming in his pants, because it’s a lot more fun that way)"I read this as secrete-ing instead of secret-ing at first, which would have been an icky twist in the tale!

That is true in general. However, if one is vegan, and seeks out restaurants that cater to vegans, one isn't likely to be served slabs of frozen shit with grill marks, and the like.
