One good thing to know about venomous snakes is that most of them even if
they bite you will do very little harm. They will have very little in the
venom sacks if they have recently caught prey. The purpose of the venom is
to paralyze the prey so it can be eaten. It is not there for
"self-defense".




I've heard that with the local cottonmouths and copperheads. They have the
ability to determine how much vemon they want to pump into a bite. Not sure
how true that is, I wish I could find the reference. But it may be little or
big enough to land you in the hospital.

Ok, I now know the feeling of complete and utter paralyzing terror. I
always laughed at how they show people freeze up in the movies, but
now I know it's totally true.

So there we were, watching frozen in terror as this snake appeared and
fell to the ground. Suddenly I just lost it and started screaming
hysterically and made for the door. But in my terror, I couldn't get
the door open, I just kept fumbling with the knob and screaming and
Dennis was behind me trying to help and we were just interfering with
each other and I was more afraid than I'd ever been in my life.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!
