The Whole Town's Talking: Rattlesnake bites Lander man on lip, tongue
Jackson Hole Star-Tribune ^ | April 03, 2005 | JOHN MORGAN

Posted on 04/03/2005 3:57:39 AM PDT by SLB

A pet rattlesnake bit its extremely drunk owner once on the finger while the man was playfully flicking its head, then bit him again on the lip and tongue after he attempted to kiss it, reports the Lander Journal.

According to Sgt. Gene Galitz's popular column "CopsCorner," the Lander man, identified as Rattlesnake Bob, was driven to the emergency room at the Lander Valley Medical Center on March 23 by his girlfriend. When he saw a patrol car at the hospital, he refused to get out, saying he hadn't had much luck with cops.

Galitz tried to persuade the man to seek medical attention, but the man refused. Luckily, the snake's bites did not inject venom.

"I'd bet the next morning the snake woke up with a hangover and Rattlesnake Bob woke up wondering who pierced his tongue and forgot to put in the decoration," Galitz wrote.

We have a Darwin Award winner!

Not really...the rules are specific...Rattlesnake Bob would have to croak to be a candidate.

I "mess" with rattlers all the time. Usually with a .410 but sometimes a 12 guage.

She might've gotten that idea from a TV show. The anti-venom you need can be different for different types of venomous snakes.

At least in Sweetwater they don't do those pathetic games with the snakes - it is all done for education and they milk the venom and sell all parts of the snake -

They support a charity for mentally challenged adults -

"Why am I not surprised to find that alcohol was involved?"

He should've at least got the snake drunk first.
