Don't worry. I agree with you that a dog is much more likely to kill you than a large snake. However, when you are trying to convince people about things like the ban you are dealing with public PERCEPTION rather than objective reality.

I think you can improve the perception of large snake safety if we can get better death statistics. Let me play with the numbers a little bit and see what they look like.

0.1 Peruvian rainbow boa (Amaru)

2.0 Brazilian rainbow boas (TBA)

0.3 Honduran milksnakes (Chicchan, Chanir, Hari)

1.0 Thayeri kingsnake (TBA)

2.7 corns (Cetto, Tolosa, TBA)

1,000,000.1,000,000 other critters
