Does anyone know what the statistics are for pet snake attacks versus wild attacks? I have this friend that is trying to tell me that More people are killed/attacked each year by escaped pet snakes than wild ones. I don't agree. I thought, yeah, there could be more bites, but not deaths. I snake isn't gonna try and kill something it can't eat, unless people are not careful with venomous snakes. Anyway, I told him that, say a constrictor, unless really big, isn't gonna try to coil around your neck and kill you. Any opinions or articles I could look at? Thanks.
