Each day the editor of the Northern Echo Peter Barron challenges BBC Tees to come up with a better headline for one of their stories.

Wednesday's headline challenge and The Northern Echo go with a story about a boa constrictor which bit a model's surgically-enhanced breast & died from silicone poisoning. The boa was appearing with Orit Fox, Israel's Jordan, when it lunged at her.

She was taken to hospital for a tetanus jab; it died two days later ...

The Northern Echo's headline "Snake Dies in Booby Trap"

BBC Tees went with "Fangs for the Mammaries"

Independent adjudicator Kerry awarded 2 point to BBC Tees for winning with a song title.

The score stands at 4-3.
