Yep, I do that now ever since one bit me once. Luckily it was just a garter snake. It was totally my fault for playing with it... :(
but if I see one in the wild, I don’t mess with it.
Me neither. Unless it is a green grass snake. Those are cute and fun to hold.
When I was on a Boy Scout camping trip, one guy got bit by some kind of harmless snake, forget which one, and every member of the troop had their snakebite kits out and were practically fighting to be the one to “treat” him.
Those little lancets scared him worse than the snake.
