That is like curling up with a hyena which hasn't been fed in days.........
This reminds me of a program called Fatal Attraction on Animal Planet.
A man had FIVE, count them, FIVE Komodo lizards which lived with him in an apartment, a tiny one bedroom apartment.
They were ALL cage free.
He had shown the guys at work bites he had sustained from them, but sloughed it off as no big deal even though the guys urged him to go to ER for treatment. He believed he could
build up an immunity against the deadly venom.
There was a long weekend. Monday morning he failed to show for work.
Then Tuesday rolled around.......no sign of him
Finally somebody called 911 due to foul odor coming from a first floor apartment in the complex.
When the police arrived they knocked. No answer.
They too could smell it and were certain it was human remains.
The fire department arrived and broke the door in and found what was left of him propped up against a wall in the living room. (The hands were gone. The stomach and intestinal cavity had been cleaned out and most of his face was missing.)
When they entered they were shocked by the size and number of the lizards and of course had to immediately put them down.
They put what remained of him in a body bag. Later they determined, although it was difficult due to the extreme condition of the remains, that he was apparently bitten by one of the lizards and they just did what a Komodo will do. It bites delivering the venom and then quietly waits for its prey to drop and then finishes it off at leisure.
I don't think people think before they buy or they are so arrogant as to believe "Oh I know all of THAT, BUT I can make the difference."
