Any fools who keep venomous snakes deserve the hideous deaths waiting for them. Like this stereotypical Tuff Guy:

yeah, there are a few too many of these morons, because we see this story several times a year. as i've said before, people don't seem to realize that venom can do a lot of damage short of killing you. even if your life is saved, you can lose a finger or an arm, or have one permanently messed up (things that swell up huge and turn charcoal black don't go back to normal when you get out of the hospital). the venom injection is basically the start of digestion. when the needles puncture your cuticle, you have begun being consumed.
you taste good, like an idiot should. is what a snake would say, out of both tines of its tongue, if snakes vouchsafed articulation to their
Speise.
it is truly dumb to handle venomous snakes. even the comparatively minor venomous snakes as we have in North America (apart from the coral snake, which you're least likely to come across, and which is least likely to bite you, altho its poison is old-world dangerous if it did).
