Snakes in a Box

This story tells of two Denver men who planned to murder a man who owed them $60,000 by forcing him to put his legs in a box filled with rattlesnakes. Sounds like I moved to a tough neighborhood.

I'm pretty sure the creditor (loan shark, bookie, etc.) has decided to write off the debt by that point. Instead, they're advertising the potential consequences of non-payment, pour encourager les autres.

In that context, the box-full-of-rattlesnakes idea is perfect: grotesque and sure to grab attention.
