Strange news about a snake bite.

[65-2x2]

I'm not particularly afraid of snakes but this one gives me shivers!
Diamondback. Texas mid 70's.

That poor man, that giant snake has him by the hand. There is not an apparent mark on the snake, I have seen really big Rattlers, and even bigger Rattler skins, but that photo looks questionable.

Here in Lower Michigan the only real dangerous snakes we have are those at the state capital.

We have those here in NY too!!!

This thread is about snakes and snake bites. It is NOT about immigration, national health care, politics or anything else.

I grew up in rural Virginia during the 50's and snakes were pretty common, yet I don't remember ever hearing of anyone being bitten. We only had one type of snake, the dreaded Copperbackrattlemoccasin, usually referred to as a (blank) snake. I suppose some of them might have actually been dangerous, but my mother taught me to leave the snakes (and skink lizards, she was scared of the lizards) alone, and I was more scared of her than I was the snakes and lizards.
