Vipers usually use their venom to immobilise or kill their prey. The poison, which is injected through their hollow fangs, paralyses the nervous system and causes internal bleeding, but not this time.
The tiny rodent killed the snake after a fierce 30-minute battle, emerging with "barely a scratch on him", according to one person who saw the fight. "It attacked the snake continuously, biting and scratching it."

Ha! Take that, evil snake from hell. That's what you deserve. I hope all of your kind get their heads bitten off by brave, furry mice. One (or ten) less snakes is no problem in my book. *Shudder*

The mouse is the American people, the snake is the shady people behind the government, and the venom is their lies and deceit.
I don't like snakes. (Nothing personal against those of you who do, but I grew up in the country where snakes=dangerous.)

Ok two things:
1. How did long did it live after it bit the POISONOUS snake.
2. Did it fight for it's life only to be fed to another snake?...... - 3 years ago

If I were that snake's owner and saw that my pet was getting its ass handed to it by (what was supposed to be) dinner, I would have taken the mouse out of the cage. Run free, Super Mouse! Go pop the tab on a can of whoop-ass on someone else! Live another day!!

Yeay! Go mighty mouse! The mouse deserved to win that battle, after being so cruelly thrown into the snake's cage. Looking at the pic though, even with a nasty bite, it does seem to be quite a small snake.

honestly i dont know
i lot of people would say mcain but everybody knows about his dishonesty and he doesn't really have a snake like personaobama seems too good to be true sometimes and i am either suspicious or paranoid but once again even if he isn't being totally honest he doesn't seem that snakelike either
but our government in general has been fairly shifty lately doing a lot of thing we don't know about
remember the bird flu scare that only killed 3 people and then everybody freaked out for a little while and then the media just stooped talking about it all at once
I'm not that dumb it was an obvious distraction from something and it worked because i don't know whattotally drifted from the point sorry

when I was in elementary school we had a corn snake that ate small mice. one day we found a wild mouse and tried to feed it to the snake. being that the snake had been given tame feeder mice it's hole life it did not know how to really hunt and the mouse fought back. The snake ended up hiding in a corner and we let the mouse go.

Sadly the mouse died minutes later while on a victory stroll he came across an unassuming hunk of cheese, tried to sample said cheese, and had its neck instantaneously snapped by a strange metal bar that came out of nowhere.
