I have watched all the videos. Snake tries to bite son but he is too drunk to notice. Dog barking like crazy trying to warn them. It finally bites the dad. I would be on the road to the ER have screaming my head off

I would have recognize it was non poisonous and cooked him for supper.

I was lying on the bed reading under an open window. Wife came into the room and said tensely but quietly, “Roll over and get out of the bed NOW. I did and looked back and there was what looked to her like a rattlesnake on the windowsill. It was actually harmless but I didn’t leave the window open after that.

Rubbing his head was natural, we do that for lots of little skin things that cause a sensation or that even seem like they might.

I’ve lived in my current home for 31 years because I like it here but if I ever find a snake in my house I will move.

I thought the snake was a homeless democrat.

Yep, hung out with some biology majors in college, they were fascinated by snakes (and just crazy in general). One had a large silver rat snake that would come crawling up over the side of the couch at random times, slither across everyone’s lap and go off the other side. The guy would say things like, don’t move your hands too fast, he hasn’t eaten in a couple of days. At a minimum you need bandages, anti-biotics and a tetanus shot if you get bitten by a non-poisonous snake.

I had a rat snake crawling up the stucco of my Florida house. I was amazed.

My former neighbor Sylvia has had a pet rat snake for over 25 years. I believe it was the oldest rat snake ever. I’ll have to ask her if it is still alive.

Rat snakes tend to be active around dusk.

I’ve caught and been bit by rat snakes dozens of times. I caught a cute baby last week at the park and let it go again. The largest I caught was a 7 footer a few years ago. They have razor shard tiny little teeth and the bites can cause lots of bleeding, but are totally harmless. Rat snakes make great pets. It’s been fun to catch them, feed them on quail eggs and local green frogs and release them a year or two later. I haven’t raised any over the last three years though, but they are so fun to find and catch.

Know a woman who a few days after she was diagnosed with breast cancer reached under a bush in her yard and was bitten by a copperhead.

It cured her cancer.
