Komodo Dragons are being bred in captivity now? and being sold to the public? Since when??

Look the media reported it as posionous there funny creatures, the media.

"saw-scale viper - considered to be the deadliest species in the world" Got to love the miss-guided information on the news.

If this is the kind of information being passed around just about reptiles, what kind of miss-guided information is there about our gov's being passed around too?

Seeings as the saw scaled viper kills more people on earth than any other snake it's fair to say it's that deadly.....There has never been a reported death from the bite of an Inland Taipan, and that snake is far more toxic

I believe the saw scale viper has a larger body count because of it's small size and habitat. To the best of my knowledge most people that get bite don't realize it till it's to late.

Reasoning most people walk around barefot in that country they hide in the brush. A bite from that little guy may feel no worse than a stick poking you in the leg or foot by the time they realize something is worng it's to late.

This is as much of a questions as an answer. Does anyone agree or disagree?
