Let’s just say I am not a huge fan of snakes and when I hear that they are this poisenous it is even harder to like them ;-) But in the end the snake was caught and all are happy.
I give a nother thumps up for MIA – actually an awesome idea to call a missing snake MIA – missing in action. Sometimes the simple ideas in life are the best.

This story could have had a bad or unhappy ending but fortunately everything went smoothly here. I also like the name MIA since it is a funny abbreviation that really is perfect for this little snake. Anybody know already what the snakes actual name has become?

Boy, talk about dodging a bullet. This is a story that could have had a very unhappy ending. Thankfully, this was a case of no harm, no foul.

Does anyone know what name the snake finally got?

It’s venom affect the nervous system stopping the nerve signals from being transmitted to the muscles and at later stages stopping those transmitted to the heart and lungs as well.

I checked the poll and it says ” Voting on the five finalists has now closed, as we tally the results. Come back on Thursday to find out the winner.”
I hope my vote will win..anyway, I voted for Amaunet – goddess. reason for that? Nothing.
