Yes, that place sounds like it has a great panel of "experts". Ray Charles could ID snakes better than those people. It is just amazing what people "think" they are looking at sometimes.

Yes, I have known of countless people being bitten by Western and Easterns. The reactions can vary greatly from mild to wild too depending on the person. Also, it is very true that Western Hogs have more of a pre-dispostion for accepting rodents than Easterns do, but they can often be swithed over with some scenting and then be just as easy. Of course this depends on the individual snake and other factors like the husbandry it is maintained in, etc...
