Loss of habitat makes these stories seem to come more frequent then before sad indeed for all involved the lady, and her loved ones but also the snakes and other animals that are driven to do things they wouldn't have to do if they had the room and the proper food sources in the wild where they belong , saw this on Google when I first pulled it up but thank you for sharing

I think "loss of habitat" has a huge influence, same thing for large cats (tigers etc) that attack people, there's so many more people encroaching areas that used
to be all wild habitat. And yet, people always blame the animals for attacking.

And these headlines truly don't help the average person to feel any better about our pet snakes...they think they're all the same.
