This dog was on a leash, so the owner was responsible enough. That's the point though. A boa is not going to be in contact with the neighbors kid because they do not go out for walks. If they do escape, the worst they might do is eat the pooch that bit my nephew. Lol.

As far as dog bites that require hospital care to snake bites that do. I'm sure there are more dog bites than snake bites that actually bite someone who is not the owner of the animal. I'll bet the ratio is 1000 to 1, even if the number of owners was factored in. Remember, I said dogs that bite someone that is not the owner of the animal. To prove my point. How many mailmen out there have been bitten by a pet boa while delivering the mail? I'll check and see if my mailman is carrying some snake mace just to be sure it hasn't become a problem lately.Lol. If you find me one mailman, I'll send you $100. Just one mailman people!!!
