Authorities found rattlesnakes, cobras and black mambas, although it\u0027s unknown which one delivered the fatal bite
Along with nonvenomous snakes, which Riston had permits for, animal control officers also found rattlesnakes, cobras, and black mambas, Harris said.The snakes at Riston’s home were kept in good condition and he was “very meticulous” about how he cared for and handled them, she said.
“He did not keep a lot of furniture inside the home so there was no place — if a snake, for example, were to escape — it could hide or harm anybody. It seems as if he was almost obsessive in his cleanliness and keeping and care of the animals,” she said. A licensed handler was expected to take the nonvenomous snakes to Virginia, while another would take the venomous ones to North Carolina. North Carolina does not ban privately owning venomous snakes.
