The snake bit into Chrystal Wilson’s neck when she took it out of its cage for feeding last week, and a child in the house called the police.
After rescuing her, police issued a midemeanour citation to Wilson for keeping an animal which poses a danger to children. The snake has since been taken in by Wilson’s friend – who does not have children.
Wilson was treated for scratches to her neck, but was otherwise unharmed in the attack.
