They look like big arse slugs.

Big arse slugs that have 2, 1 inch hypodermic needles in their mouths and prey on humans.

I'm surprised a bunch of rednecks in South Carolina couldn't locate and kill a giant snake that was on the loose.

The ignorance on this board is astounding. It has little to do with the snake and everything to do with how the snake is raised. My adder sleeps at the foot of my 5yr old daughter's bed every night. She plays with him, pulls on his tail, tries to ride him like a horse sometimes. And he just acts like it doesn't bother him. Death Fangie (what my daughter named him) would never hurt anyone and he is the sweetest snake I've ever owned.
More people get bit by garden snakes every year but the media loves to portray vipers as the bad snakes. In the 80's it was cobras and mambas that were bad.

To many people in trailer parks thinking owning a viper is cool and don't know what they're doing is giving us good viper owners a bad name. fricking liberals!

I don't now how I missed black mamba. If you corner a black mamba in a confined space you can pretty much forget it. You're done. Probably the best combination of speed, agility, aggressiveness, and potent venom of all of them.

Of the ones you mentioned, give me the sea snake all day. Toxic venom but by far the most docile and non aggressive snake of them all.

If that lady really mean "close down bars" like we're interpreting it, she needs to get an OT invite ASAP.

I'm no herpetologist either, but I don't think Gaboon Vipers are native to SC. Which dumb redneck thought this would be a cool pet to have?

That one gets my vote. They're just super fast, although the Gaboon Viper has the fun flesh melting venom like the Snake Island snakes, IIRC.

Their bars close at 11 or 12? Boooooo

The only way to ensure this GDCK is eliminated is to burn the whole town to the ground.
