Snake dies after biting fake breast

A Snake who bit Israeli model and actress Orit Fox in the chest died after being poisoned by unusual venom -- the silicone in the buxom blonde's surgically enhanced breasts.

Spanish TV channel Telecinco's footage of Fox's encounter was racking up YouTube. The video shows the model fondling and licking the serpent for a feature in Israeli DJ Shmulik Tayar's radio show, before the snake got fresh with Fox and latched on to her left breast.

Fox was taken to Hillel Yaffe Hospital in Hadera, northwest of Jerusalem. After a tetanus shot and a few hours of observation, she was released, according to Telecinco.

But the snake did not fare so well. Days later, Telecinco reported that the creature had died of silicone poisoning.

But can a snake die of poisoning.

According to snake biologist it’s hard to believe that the snake could have ingested any significant amount of silicone from the small bite shown in the video clip. And even if the snake did get a mouthful of silicone, there isn’t any evidence that medical-grade silicone can poison a snake.
