Friends said that Hatfield had captured the snake from his girlfriend's yard several days before and was keeping it in a pillowcase. Hatfield occasionally took the snake out to kiss it on the mouth, but on Saturday, the snake decided to end the relationship.

    He looks like one of those idiots that thinks this sort of thing is COOL! Maybe the snake had just eaten and/or was cold. He brought it into a warm area when it was hungry, or whatever, and it was willing and able to attack. Attacking, in this case, was the snakes ONLY option, since otherwise it would likely have been returned to the sack to die. ALSO, apparently snakes KNOW about their venom, and give themselves time to recover, etc... If it had bitten earlier, the guy might not have died. Snakes can live a LONG time without eating though, and it was merely biding its time.

    Get a load of that guy making that hand signal with the snake wrapped around his other arm. This seems to be the international(OK, at least the US) sign for "This is STUPID! I'm an IDIOT! But don't you ENVY how COOL I am!?!?!?!?"!
