i heard of a guy in kentucky who was completely eatin by his retic when trying to give it the meds for mouth rot and hes owned snakes his whole life the snake was 18 foot and he went in to give it the meds by himself in the barn and he musta pissed the snake off some how when giving him the meds. the news reported he was a snake rancher who knew what he was doing and had a lisence to breed snakes of all kinds and that it was his fault that he got eaten and not the snakes fault
