The magnificent gaboon viper that is found today in very few locations. This snake has a head the size of a baseball with the longest fangs of any snake reaching 2 inches in length. As you can see they blend in perfectly with their surroundings. This is a very thick bodied snake that looks like a fire hose.

Comfort Inn & Suites Arlington Heights - Schaumburg

10/10 Excellent

"The property is clean and well-staffed. Staff is friendly. The room was well appointed. (some properties are eliminating micro, fridge and chairs as crazy as that seems). Love that there is a nice breakfast! Only criticism was that the coffee was a bit weak at breakfast, but the one in my room was perfect, so I was very happy. It was quiet, even near the lobby where I was. "

Residence Inn by Marriott Chicago Lake Forest/Mettawa

10/10 Excellent

"Nice, clean place that was nicely decorated for Christmas. Room looked like it had new carpeting installed. Breakfast was pretty good; hot food was good as well but options were basic (scrambled eggs, bacon / sausage). The location isn’t near to anything within walkable distance but the area itself is very nice. "
