My dad was a emergency room doctor for 25 years guess how many exotic snake bites he saw in that entire time...... NONE!!! guess how mays dog bites he saw ...1-2 a week. Guess how many bites that required medical attention I've had in the 25 years I've been keeping snakes.... None meanwile one of my younger sisters lost hear hearing and sight on her right side from a dog attack 20 years ago, My uncle last year was attacked by a stray dog that did tendon and ligament dammage to his leg. Yes dogs are more common so you would expect to see more dog bites but snakes arn't that uncommon anymore even if you look at the adjusted relative frequences and did a complete statistical analisys dogs or cats or birds,horses,cows,goats or just about any other animal with the possible execption of goldfish harm far more people then snakes ever will.
