Aggressive how?
Put up a fight, how?
Who recorded the 'aggressive fight'?

Bloggers and the fight for traffic. angry

Meanwhile: the Gaboon Viper (Bitis gabonica) is considered to produce more venom than any other venomous snake. A single adult animal may have enough venom to inject lethal doses into 30 individual men.

Please cite your reference. I am interested to read up. Don't cook up stories and back them up with expletives. It shows you off as a person with rock-bottom gray matter. Shalom.

Yes. If you kill it, you will be required by tradition to do a befitting, human-type burial for it. No matter who you are.
But just pythons. There are several reasons for this tradition. One is, I think, that the pythons ensure that no one (especially small chilldren) are killed by other venomous snakes as the pythons eat these snakes hence protect the community.
