Being someone who's only recently (few months ago) fallen in love with these animals. I can completely understand her Point of View and reasoning. I was terrified of them, until I was more or less forced to interact with one, and I was very apprehensive at first to say the least. Even still I'd probably be a little freaked out if an 11 ft snake was outside my car door. Not enough to call 9-1-1 but still enough where I probably wouldn't leave the car, or I'd leave through another door and RUN. lol
But I think the main problem here is in the reporting. Honestly, I can't say that I'm too suprised Fox news reported this in such a manor, as they tend to do little-to-no fact checking on their information / stories (my favorite example was when they ran an SNL skit as true). They tend to just turn the tinyest most mundane details into over-the-top horror stories. I've seen them do that on just about every show they run (Hannity, Beck, and O'Reilly to name a few).
