What is funny is that like tarantulas, snakes dry bite 99% of the time. He must have been hailing a cab at the same time and not paying attention or really abusing the snake to get that kind of whack from it.
Seeing how a KC can go months with out eating why the heck would you even feed one in those conditions, It probly was not starving to death, I am suprised it would want to eat in that stressful environment.
I think the whole story is BS, other that someone got bit from misusing the intended purpose of the animal.
