This is the best summary I could come up with:

"Any attempts to either get close to a snake to catch or to kill, or to photograph the snake, just puts people at risk."

"We want people to be able to get seen and assessed quickly and having a live snake in the department slows up that process."

"If that snake gets out in an emergency department, that becomes a huge a disaster."

"Snakes are one of those things that scare a lot of people, we definitely don't want them in the hospital."
