The DVAS snake name scheme......

The DVAS, as we all know, have a name scheme to codename themselves after venomous snakes, such as:

Beatrix Kiddo=Black Mamba
O-ren Ishii=Cottonmouth
Vernita Green=Copperhead
Budd=Sidewinder


My question is: If they are the DEADLY VIPER assassination squad, why is Elle Driver's codename, California Mountain Snake, a non-venomous snake? The California Mountain Kingsnake (lambropeltus zonata) is hardly a viper and not the least bit deadly. Beautiful, but harmless.

Maybe it is to be ironic. She is the only one who tries using some sort of poisons. She starts to inject Uma with something when she is in a coma, and then she has a snake (Black Mamba) poison Budd.

Hence the black mamba in the suitcase of money. However I doubt she actually killed Pai Mei via poison. I think Elle was just trying to piss off Beatrix.

yes And adding to that, I don't think a lot of people care or know that a California Mountain Snake isn't venomous.

No, she only failed to defeat Uma with poison. She did kill Budd with it and Pei Mei as well, so I'm going to stick with the irony that she used poison 3 times and was the only one not to have a venomous snake for a name.

true, it is ironic that elle, the non-venomous snake tries to poison her enemies with poison of others, but does not succeed.

what poison killed budd? - that of a black mamba, right. not that of a cali mountain snake. so, in an indirect way, beatrix aka BLACK MAMBMA got her revenge on budd also... in a way.

and the story about pei mei and the fish heads, well, it's the story how elle tells it... to upset beatrix, in the first. i personaly don't take it for granted.

apropos "DiVAS snake name scheme"... bill aka THE SNAKE CHARMER is driving a panterra mangusta when he comes to visit budd. mangusta/mongoose is a small animal that actually can kill cobras:

"The cobra's natural enemies, excluding man, are few. One creature which can successfully kill the cobra is the mongoose. The mongoose is a small animal with a pointed head, a long tail, and thick hair. Mongooses commonly live on the ground, and hunt alone; they are famous for their snake-fighting ability, and are often used to control snakes and rats where humans live. Research has shown that although the mongoose is tolerant of small dosages of cobra venom, it is not immune to it. Mongooses are almost always victorious against a cobra, however, because of their speed, agility, and timing, and also because of their thick coat. They can move more quickly than a cobra can strike, and their thick coat protects them from occasional bites."
