The kid’s paris need to buy the kid different toys.,,
Is that the regular practice with a snake who has bitten a human. Is the snake usually killed when they can locate it?
The snake was only doing what snakes do when opportunity is there. I’m glad the child received prompt care though.
Not too put too fine a point on it, but I believe it’s antivenom or antivenin.
Anti-venom sounds like a third-rate comic book character.
Hmm, the story is told of my family having a picnic many years ago. One of my uncles, then maybe 3 or 4, was discovered playing with a rattlesnake and knocking it with a small branch. The snake was rattling like crazy and totally apoplectic and somewhat stunned because it couldn’t believe the kid was doing that. Folks rescued my uncle before he could get bit.
Thank God the child will be OK.
Though no mention of the political affiliation of the snake.
Eventhough it’s dead we know it’ll keep voting D.
I’ve dated a number of those.
Poor kid will be wetting his bed for years.
How common are rattlesnakes in Florida? I have a friend who lived in New Mexico and he said he would run into them all the time just walking down the street.
I think if I had a five-year-old and lived in a place where rattlesnakes were common, I would have taught the kid about the dangers of rattlesnakes.
Last summer my son and his family and I were looking for fossils on the ranch. The sun had just slipped down although you could still see a little and in the low light I spotted on the ledge about shoulder high a huge rattlesnake coiled within striking distance to my daughter-in-law. I yelled her name and grabbed her back and still she nor my son saw the reason for my panic until I pointed it out. I actually did not see the snake so much as I saw the pattern of its markings and fear took over. It still gives me cold chills to think about it. After we calmed down and took a better look at it, we realized it had just eaten a rabbit or something large enough that it was pretty lethargic, fortunately. I will never be out without a light at that hour again.
As I remember the Pecos Bill stories, the infant Bill used a rattlesnake for a rattle in his crib.
Had a similar encounter with what I thought was a toy copperhead in my son’s bedroom. Fortunately, it moved before my hand got too close. Yikes!!
