WOW,,,that had to hurt,,,

I’ve only had 4-5 bite me and that was plenty!

Snake bites don’t seem to kill as many people as they used

to because of the anti-venom and choppers,,,

Mostly pulpwood cutters in a hurry...

I showed the picture at the top to my wife. She's seen her share of Cottonmouths as a kid. She said looks like one to her. But the black was throwing her off too. She said that sometimes right after they came out of the water they would look like they were black but were grey or brown. Too many things throw me off like the lack of a skin pattern and the tail sections too sharp & long but not blunt. I sure wouldn't have asked it LOL.

Reminds me of a guy named Wendy Bagwell. He was a Gospel Singer and Comedian. If you ever get a chance listen to a track he did called "Here comes the Rattlesnakes" then do so. It's one of the funniest stories I've ever heard told in my life. It's about a church he was talked into going to sing at up in Kentucky and unknown to him they were also snake handlers. In these neck of the woods theres still some of them around too.

You're right about snake bites. Most of what killed people before was doing the wrong thing once bitten. Like you say too they can get people out of about any area now flown to a hospital with anti-venom weather permitting within an hour or less.
