In June 1891, a 'monster snake'was spotted after a heavy rain 3 miles north of town in the wheat field of Mr. J. W. Howell. The snake reared its head two feet above the wheat which was four feet high. "They estimated that its head was fully eight inches wide, its body the size of a man's, and its length fully 25 feet..." Lebo today is a quiet town of about 1,000 people with little publicised snake activity.
