Hi all. Just want you all to know of an incident that happened here in South Africa two days ago (29/01/04).
A mans car was reposesed by the bank (ABSA) in 1998 bcause he couldnt pay the istallment. So he decided to take revenge on the bank and put 5 puff adders (BITIS ARIETANS) in a box, walked in and opened the box on the counter. Imagine that!!! He walked strait out again!
The security officer tried to close the box and a puffy struck him on the hand. He is apparently in stable condition and the doctors were able to save his hand!!!
The man was arrested and is being charged with attempted murder!!!
Dont you all just love my country??? Crime,hijackings and puffys in the bank.
Just thougt i'd inform you all.
Happy herpin'

Nice guy....Cause he got those puffs killed for just being who they are, so to speak. Venomous snakes get a bad enough rap with out some idiot doing something like this. They should make him crawl naked through a bunch of pissed off Puffs so they could avenge the needless death of their cousins.

Hi phobos, thanx for your reply! I totaly agree with you to send that guy crawling through the puff's!!! LOL.
Just wanted to put your hearts at rest and let you know that fortunately the puff adders were caught and relocated into the wild!!! Thank Goodness.
I am an avid reptile keeper, Venomous and non-venomous/Local and exotic and I just hate it when snakes get bad press!!!!
Any other comments from any one else???
take care and be SAFE.

Jesus! I served in Africa when I was in the Army, and I always knew that the local inhabitants were a tough bunch, but I obviously didn't know "how" tough...it takes all sorts to be a bank customer...even the puff adders are leaving deposits with the bank staff.!!
My kinda town :o)

Hello fellow herpers!
That is absolutely horrific! I can't even begin to imagine what was going through the cashier's mind at that point - or the poor security officer's, when he got nailed by one of the most dangerous snakes in the world!
There are some real twats in this world!
