That turned out remarkably well for everyone considering (from the way the article was written) the incident started with stupid keeper mistakes. Feeding by hand apparently, and smelling like food. Good one.



I'm actually kind of surprised 1) that the taser worked the way it did, 2) that after the situation was resolved, the officer left the home, and 3) nobody was calling for the death of the snake, or movements for new anti-reptile legislation, etcetera and so forth.



It sure made a headline though!
