Those are very interesting pages. Thanks for posting em! Unfortunately, the first one only calculates odds...and that's not what I'm looking for. And the second one only talks about dogs.

I wish there were good population numbers for snakes in the US. IMHO, having the "risk-per-snake" compared to the "risk-per-dog" numbers would be more impressive for the anti-ban crowd than the raw overall number of attacks is -- precisely because lots of people WILL bring up the question of how few snakes there are compared to dogs.
