At times that might be weird than having your arm swell up 3 times and skin starting to slough off. = At times that might be BETTER than having your arm swell up 3 times NORMAL and skin starting to slough off.

Terrible, stupid tragedy.

I feel so bad for this girl.

I have a lifelong interest in reptiles, and currently have a family pet ball python.

I used to be into catching snakes as a boy.

I can understand how cool it would be to some teenage boys to catch something like that and want to show it off. I wonder if he even knew what it was. The fact that the girl had to wait 45 minutes to get medical attention suggests to me that no one realized the snake was poisonous right away.


I know the boy will feel terrible guilt forever.

I pray that this girl will be OK.
