I do sympathise with Wade's family; just terribly bad luck for this death to have happened. I'm not so sure the snake pictured on the news was stock pics either. I believe it was the offending snake, and it obviously didn't come from this area. Looks to me like "someone" was selling this person venomous snakes illegally. The TWRA never made any attempt to listen to reason when Tennessee's first snake/reptile control laws were enacted. Stories like this make it even more certain they never will. Anyone possessing snakes in Tennessee and not complying with present laws should be worried. Anyone who sold or helped this particular individual acquire illegal venomous snakes should be terrified, and they deserve to be. We all lose in this case, Wade moreso than anyone, but everyone loses. Hope the person who sold Wade this animal enjoyed that twenty bucks.
