Aleta Stacey Of Putnam Lake Killed, Apparently By Bite From Pet Snake

PUTNAM LAKE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – Authorities are looking into the death of Aleta Stacey, 56, who they think was possibly killed by a pet snake.

Stacey shared a home with her live-in boyfriend and roughly 75 snakes, including many venomous varieties.

The snakes were kept in glass aquariums.

The boyfriend said he thinks a deadly 5-foot-long African black mamba snake may have bitten her. Apparently the securing locks on the snake's pen were off, and bite marks were found on Stacey's forearm.

The snakes have since been taken to the Bronx Zoo.

In March, New York City was both terrified and amused by the exploits of a cobra that escaped from its enclosure in the Bronx Zoo. It was recaptured and is back on display.

Should it be illegal to own snakes as pets? Sound off in our comments section.
