Venomous serpent slithers through oversight cracks; woman dies from bite
The death of a woman who was fatally bitten by a venomous snake she purchased online has raised concerns about the online regulation of wildlife sales.
The 21-year-old woman from Weinan, Shaanxi province - known in media reports by the pseudonym Xiao Fang - was declared dead on Tuesday after being bitten by a multi-banded krait (Bungarus multicinctus) that she bought on Zhuanzhuan, a mobile shopping app, Red Star News reported on Friday.
