Most rattlesnakes have are hemotoxic, except for the Mohave Green, which is neurotoxic.

Considered the worlds most racist snake. A few milligrams of it’s hate is enough to disrespect 1000 people.

And I thought a coup was a two door car.

Really though who in the world thinks

keeping a Cobra for a pet is a good idea.

Then throwing the poor thing away and terrorizing

a town.

Mostly true, except for the Mojave Green Rattlesnake, a truly nasty, dangerously neurotoxic critter. See:

Congrats, you beat me to it. Surprising the variety of non-political knowledge three is here on FR.

The Southern Pacific Rattlesnake is another viper you want to avoid; venom is similar to the Mojave Green. I’ve watched a few episodes of “Venom ER” where individuals bitten by a Southern Pacific rattler were treated; the amount of anti-venom required is often much, much higher than the dosage for other snake bites.

Do snakes crawl, as the author says or do they slither?

Bad snake. Bad death. Glad the dog lived. If you are fully envemonated by an egyptian monocled cobra, you are done. Even if you get anti-venin, you’ll be horribly scarred.

You get into your car and reach for the seatbelt. It feels a little different but you are in a hurry. You hear the familiar click and then you hear something new.
A HISS.....

Didn’t know those existed. Looks like it would make a lovely pet!

IF THE SNAKE ENDS UP ON A GOLF COURSE, WE MAY END UP WITH A COUP...

The reptiles feed on small rodents, fish and other snakes.

Should drop one in Nancy Pelosi's neighborhood.
