Anyone else seen this on the news?

guy took out his death adder to check on it and it got him between thumb and finger.

not up on my DWA, but surely its not a good idea to take out one of the worlds most deadly snakes by hand???

Keeping Venomous snakes, can be dangerous, there is no getting away from it, its a passion for most of us, and a choice we all make, I am sure these guys do it as safe as they can be, also bear in mind the press generally dont get things right, no one wants to get bitten but its a fact of life risk wise for venomous keepers, I do understand why people who dont do it dont understand, and I understand why venomous keepers wouldnt do anything else, these guys are passionate about their hobby ans what it entails.
