Two campers are hiking in the woods when one is bitten on the rear end by a rattlesnake. “I’ll go into town for a doctor,” the other says. He runs ten miles to a small town and finds the town’s only doctor, who is delivering a baby. “I can’t leave,” the doctor says. ‘But here’s what to do. Take a knife, cut a little X where the bite is, suck out the poison and spit it on the ground.” The guy runs back to his friend, who is in agony. ‘What did the doctor say?” the victim asks. “He says you’re gonna die.”

It is just about time for them to start crawling.

The Eastern Diamondback is the largest snake of any kind, native to North America.

Obviously due to glow bull worming. Er, warming.

Two guys are walking along a dog beach when one of them gets bit by a rattlesnake. The guy goes into shock and becomes uncounscious.

His friend calls a doctor on his cell phone and frantically tells him the story and in hysterics says, "I think my friend is dead! I think my friend is dead!"

The doctor says, "Easy, easy. First, we have to make sure he's dead."

The doctor then hears a gunshot over the phone.

The friend says, "Okay. Now what?"

Wow, Ocean Beach, that is going to disturb a lot of people.

I have spent days under houses and very old shacks there.

Don't pick it up, majority are bitten in the hand or arm.

Alcohol plays a role in a large # of US snakebites.

“Also, if you spot a rattlesnake on your property, calmly back away from the critter and leave it alone.”

No, get a shovel and separate the head from the body and you won’t see that one again.

Yes it was a big one.

When I picked him up with the rake he stretched a bit more. He was really heavy.

Nothing makes a rattlesnake angrier than some inconsiderate human throwing a blanket on it’s spot for sunning itself...be considerate and you won’t get bitten.

Ah, the early days of my youth.
Seven Mountains Scout Camp.
Too lazy to go to the Kaibo/Latrine.
Peed out the back of the raised platform tent.
Onto the head of an Eastern timber rattlesnake.
Two of us.
We ran to get our Scoutmaster.
"Oh, just a garter snake. Yuk yuk."
Actually, 6-foot rattlesnake caught and killed by the Nature Lodge people.

I don't like snakes.
