I have personally witnessed hundreds if not thousands of interactions between snakes and live prey. I have not seen any injuries to a snake under these circumstances. Not to say it can't happen, everyone seems to have a story of a "friend" that suffered this. My thought may be that proper monitoring is needed. Snakes don't kill with long range weapons whether in captivity or in the wild.

I am not trying to continue this thread, but will respond to YOUR challenge. Mine was a question, therefore does not require proof. What was originally disappointing was the lack of scientific method (which rarely has a "final answer" and is not about conjecture). What I realize now is that this is an opinion forum and not a scientific forum. If only popular opinions are acceptable than I have seen the light.
