A US lawyer and his son have been accused of making threats by mailing a poisonous snake to another man.

Bob Sam Castleman and his son, Robert Jerrod Castleman, from Little Rock, Arkansas, are charged with mailing a threatening communication and mailing non-mailable matter with intent to injure or kill.

The package was opened by Kathy Staton, whose husband, Albert Coy Staton, was the target.

She said: "It was on my lap when I opened it and the snake popped up and its head (was) within two inches of my face."

The metre-long snake didn't bite anyone, and sheriff's deputies killed it.

The indictment didn't explain what led to the alleged snake incident.

"Mailing non-mailable matter"?! No shit! (Man, they're in BIG trouble with the post office!)

In fairness, the famed "snake in the mailbox" wasn't done by Co$ but by another dangerous group. However I'm sure Co$ was green with envy.

Ron of that ilk.
