More proof we have some *really* stupid people in this country.

There is actually a potential retail market for python skins, selling
them to the Chinese. They use it for some kind of traditional musical
instrument and the demand is devastating native populations in Asia.
The US environmental people are still trying to decide if 100,000 red
necks tromping around the Everglades is going to cause more damage
than the snakes.
These things are really not that easy to see. You may not even know
there is one there until he bites you. The wrap and suffocate thing
comes right after that, pretty fast. The bite is still comparable to a
big dog with backward curved teeth.


Okay...now I understand the redneck bite. What's the snake's bite like?
