Not only can kill you, but really has no reason not to eventually kill you as part of it's instinct. Dogs, cats, most fish and birds are not going to kill a person.

Along those lines while watching Animal Planet one night I heard that there are more cobra bites in Florida than there are in Africa. Why would anyone want a cobra as a pet?

No doubt it is crazy the type of animals people bring into their home. Reptiles unlike mammals are not trainable however there are certain mammals that I think is pretty risky for people to have as well unless you are highly qualified to deal with them

It never ceases to amaze me why anyone, who doesn't have the personal resolve to properly care for a pet, to own an animal or allow someone else whom they are responsible, like a child, to own one. You can't think for a second that a snake will behave like a goldfish and remain content just to sit in its bowl 24/7.

It's a damn snake for goodness sakes. What kind of sense is it to keep a "pet" which will kill you, but you don't take nearly enough precautions to prevent just that from happening?

This is such a sad story.

Even if a goldfish decided to go on a freak out it is not going to hurt or kill someone. It just does not have the means to do so. A python does even if it is only once in a blue moon. These people were careless and stupid.

That's kinda broad, Bob. The dang snake will be dead many times over after I've shipped him to address #1, address #2, address #3, etc., etc.

Well, at the very least, you'll eventually receive a box full of dead snake skin.
