Lots of people choose to keep 'hots', poisonous reptiles. Very few actually end up dead from their charges but some do. That was a pretty low detail article. Maybe Vito got sick of his girlfriend? Convenient way to bump somone off! ~Ann   | |||

When I was still game wardening in Al I got a call about a man in Shelby Co that had a King Cobra in his house(illegal in Bama) Upon investigating I found the snake in an UNLOCKED glass cage in the mans bedroom. Wife and TWO CHILDREN also lived there!!!! Unlockable glass cage.....the snake indeed was a King Cobra...NINE FEET LONG!!! I loaded the box it was in and took it to the Birmingham Zoo, where it proceeded to explode from the box like a missle, causing a near Three Stooges panic while five grown men tried to get out of it's way...in a very small room. I "lost" a couple of years before it was safely in a cage. Zoo handler said that HOT snake would of probably killed anyone near it had it escaped in the house.... IDIOTS.... troy Birmingham, Al | |||

What's even more baffling is the fact that there are numerous on-line sources for "hots" right here in the U.S. Nearly all of the exotic, and incredibly dangerous, species are available, all it takes is $$$. Supposedly, if you buy from a commercial source, they are obligated to check that local laws are being followed. (I can't help but doubt their due diligence.) However, if you purchase from another individual, no such vetting needs to take place. Kind of interesting that I can get a Russell's Viper delivered to my door, with hardly an issue, but I still have to fill out that form when I wish to buy a gun. | |||

RRiiighttt??  The thing with successfully treating a mamba invenomation, is to get the victim hooked-up with a ventilator, otherwise no amount of anti-venom or anything else will help.  | |||

Ann is right. Many people do keep poisonous snakes, and some of them do get bitten. But, us shooters should not scoff at this, as so many gun shy people think we must be nuts to be "playing" with guns! We had an indigo snake amny years ago. It is black, and looks like a mamba to the uneducated. I used to get lots of fun with it. | |||

Captive poisionous snakes play a vital role in developing antidotes for snake bites, but keeping them as pets is really not a wise decisiion. Just recently a zoo in NY lost a Cobra for a week - shut the place down! | |||

If you'd ever seen my wife drunk a mamba loose in the house wouldn't seem such a dangerous thing  | |||

Careful Saeed, don't give creedence to the anti-gun left. A gun is an inanimate object that can be controlled 100%, much different than a poisonous or dangerous animal. | |||

I kept snakes & large turtles when I was a kid but never the venomous kind. I knew 2 guys who did, both were eventually bitten on their hands (small rattler and cottonmouth). Both lost lots of tissue and had severe infections & septicemia that took a long time to heal. Not worth the risk. NRA Life Member, Band of Bubbas Charter Member, PGCA, DRSS.

Saeed, Would that be the same species as the Blue Indigo found in South Texas? People like to have them around as legend has it they kill rattlesnakes. SSR | |||

same snake, and yes they will kill and eat rattlers, just like king snakes. for a lot of years my wife and i kept various large reptiles as pets but avoided venomous ones. the problem is that you become complacent and assume the snake you have owned since he(she) was a baby is tame. they are not. they are habituated to humans but still operate at a primitive, reptilian brain level. we fed our 18 foot Burmese python( which we had raised since a hatchling) white rabbits. one day my wife reached in it's cage while wearing a white blouse to drag it out for "exercise". snake latched on to her forearm and was to stupid to realize it hadn't caught a rabbit and instinct was too primitive to release a struggling prey. i had the devil's own time getting a 100 plus lb. 18 ft. constrictor off her arm and torso( tip: if you are ever in this situation, vinegar poured in the snakes mouth will cause it to immediately release its grip- tried scotch first with minimal success). moral of this story: play with fire long enough and YOU WILL GET BURNED!

I think Ann is right as well! Check out the BF! I suspect that the "owner" knew what she was dealing with, so she should have known what to do. I think she got bumped off perhaps? Peter.

i guess it couldn't possibly the fault of someone stupid enough to keep one of the world's most dangerous animals as a "pet". in legal parlance, it is called TODDI( the other dude did it) defense. no way Jose COULD SHE HAVE BEEN CARELESS OR JUST PLAIN STUPID!
