There was an individual in Little Rock, Arkansas, a few years back that had a Mamba mailed to him. He picked it up at the Little Rock Airport and they found him dead several miles from the airport in his automobile killed by a Mamba. The Mamba was never found. Personally, I wait to open packages after I get home.

Many years ago when I was in my early teens, I was visiting some relatives in the D.C. area. Some inner-city yute somehow managed to steal a couple gaboon vipers from the D.C. zoo, threw them in a plastic trashbag over his shoulder and hopped on the bus for the ride home.

Needless to say, he won a stupid prize and got bit. As far back as I have that filed in my memory banks, I still get a chuckle out of one of the news accounts reporting that the snake was in danger of possible infection :-)
