A true test of Florida Man is not just residence but that they have killed a water moccasin in their backyard and handled an alligator in the wild -- without getting bit in either case.

A true test of Florida Man is not just residence but that they have killed a water moccasin in their backyard and handled an alligator in the wild -- without getting bit in either case. Water moccasins two, rattlesnakes maybe four, coral snakes two and never bitten. Alligators...I don't know. Maybe 20 all caught and released. But bit once when I was probably 13 yo by a baby alligator that grabbed a top water plug and would not let go. Maybe 1 ft. Got me right on the fingertip when I reeled it in and trying to get it to let go of the lure. Hurt like hell.

I forgot that I did catch an eastern diamondback rattlesnake once. I was only about 10 yo. I had it in a large jar with a lid. You would not believe the ruckus that that caused with the adults! I had it for a few days before TSHTF.
