Wes Anderson’s Poison: How Venomous The Krait Snake Really Is

In Wes Anderson‘s short movie Poison, Benedict Cumberbatch finds himself in hot water due to a venomous krait snake coiled on his stomach ― but it’s unclear if the venomous reptile really spells a death sentence. Poison is the final Dahl adaptation in Wes Anderson’s short Netflix film series, and the others in the series featured Dahl’s characteristic dramatic claims, both fanciful and nasty; for instance, licorice being made out of rats’ blood in The Rat Catcher. While Anderson’s Poison features a real type of snake, its danger might not match reality.
