Woah. she's very pretty.
The stupid people shouldn't have killed it, but I guess if you think your (very attractive) daughter is in danger and you can't tell if it's venomous you will do anything to protect her.

Proberbly just look at it saying "You can't eat me you silly bugger, I'm too big, get out and find something a bit smaller to eat!"

Not stupidity to kill it just a really common and dangerous mis-conception. People think that they need to take the snake to hospital to be formerly identified or their loved ones could die.

I see no problem with someone killing a snake for id purposes after a family member was bitten.

I wonder if there's something we don't yet know about snakes sensory systems...as this is the second time I've seen a snake go for that part of the arm out of the blue (first one was a model with a snake and it suddenly latched on to that bit on the arm). *shrug* Does BO smell like rats/mice?

It's sad that they killed it, but I must admit-before my hubby got me into snakes I was pretty scared of them, and although I would never going around torturing or killing them, I would have thought that what this family did was a perfectly acceptable thing to do! It's a total lack of knowledge and understanding of snakes!!!

Like i said i don't think it was stupid that they killed it, just misguided, but there are big problems with it.

It would of been a defensive bite when she moved.
