Great pity someone felt the need to feed the press with this story. NO venomous bites make good press and only add to the anti reptile keeping campaigns. Sorry but I am really dispointed it has made national press, there was NO REASON it should of done but of course I guess it has put the shops name in the papers.
Of course I'm happy that no one will died and no long term medical damage was done.

getting bitten is one thing, posing for the press afterwards is a whole different issue 
What was the general opinion on the rfuk thread?

Thread I saw was only 4 pages and wasn't mentioned once about how getting this in the papers wasn't a good idea! Unless I read wrong thread??

4 pages is huge!! Lol
Well it was the shop owner who started the thread ... and everyone was being very nice about it really, no one had a go about it being in the paper! I was quite surprised actually, it's normally an aggressive forum (IMO). The shop owner said the press had exaggerated alot of the info!
But I agree - it shouldn't have got in to the press at all, never mind posing with the damn snake!!!! |
