But I have not been able to find any literature to confirm this event. Are you aware of anyone being killed by this species? They with no doubt have a primitive delivery system, but they are starting to look like anouther species that should probably be treated with more respect then they currently are by most people.
I'm sure if there was a fatality caused by Rhamphiophis then it would of been made more public, and they would of been seeking to move them from colubird. I'm not knocking your source or anything, but that's how rumors get started, and if he doesn't have any tangible proof, then he shouldn't even be saying something like that. I'm not getting onto you about this, but more or less your source who speaks without having proof.
