Stupid thing is, by using a 'coral' snake in the storyline, they could have used an incredibly good mimic and been almost believable...
But nope, they chose a different snake, I don't know why?
They usually research storylines fairly well for that programme too...

oh come on kingcobra don't bring goldfish into this - after all, it has been proven that goldfish do in fact have the capacity to learn, therefore having memory greater than the alleged 5 seconds Smile

mythbusters to be precise Wink

Yeah right, I was in Wolverhampton saturday night, in my hotel room getting ready to go to a family do when I got a phone call from a very exited work colleague.

" Quick!! Put Casualty on, some people have been bitten by a "viper" and the whole programme is about it. Its really interesting!" he said.

Ok, out of curiosity i put the telly on for a quick look and saw some girl in hospital hyperventilating or something. I turned it off and carried on shaving.

No dought I'll have to eat s**t from everyone at work now who have been "educated" about the dangers of venomous snakes Rolling Eyes

Glad I've got this week off Wink

I've just read in another thread that apparently the venomous snake featured on "Crapualty" was a Honduran Milksnake Rolling Eyes

Personally, I find this ironic as the only non-venomous snake I keep is a Honduran Milksnake!!

I'm going to take her into work and scare the be-jesus out of the guy who phoned me!! He may even find the snake in his lunch box Laughing
