Needs to checked out, those snakes still have enzymes that will leave a bad infection.Quote:

That's scary stuff Mr. Jim. I had a buddy who was bitten by a copperhead one day. No poison was injected in him either. They called it a dry bite.
Here's an interesting read on "dry bites". What is a Dry Snake Bite? | Snakes and Spiders

Folks were on the HOOK a few days back about being skeered of water snakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Water mocasins are the bloodiest snakes out there seeing how they chase you down and make multiple lacerations. Glad they are not poisonous er I would quit fishin altogether.
Who said they weren't poisonous?????Quote:

Completely agree..they'd be plenty of holes in my boat and then "no ME" in the boat as well.
FYI:Water mocasins(sp?) are not poisonous, just common water snakes. COTTONMOUTH water mocasins, however, ARE. Mocasin is an Indian name for 'snake", ie. common water snake. Cottonmouths Water Mocasins and Water Mocasins are two different issues. Neither of which I spend enough time lookin at to identify.
I got bit by a banded water snake when I was a kid. Hand and arm swole up and turned black. When I got back to the cabin my dad said are you sure of what bit you, I handed him the dead snake and said pretty sure. He still took me to the ER though.
Only three kinds of snakes: live snake, dead snake(my favorite), and a stick that looks like a snake... The guy who lets me hunt his land got hit by a cottonmouth and he almost didnt make it to jackson... Took 18 viles of antivenom to get him there. So a dry bite, as scary as it may have been, was probly a blessing... Things can get ugly fast with a snake bit
Dad used to carry a frog gig on a cane pole. He would gig the cottonmouth with the frog gig, stick it in a tree, skull up to it and waylay it with the boat paddle. Then he would throw it in the boat and take it home where he would realistically coil it up on top of the trash in the trash can. This is back in the day when everyone had galvanized trash cans and the sanitation workers pushed the three wheeled buggy into your backyard to empty your trash. He'd come home on Monday to find trash and trash cans scattered all over the back yard and he'd just laugh and laugh.
You're Dad sounds like the sort of guy you say "Yes Sir and Thank You" to. :)Quote:

That poor ol snake wouldve had to crawl up that pile of poo to bite me in the azz 'cause there would have been plenty of it.
Yeah I was always the kid that would do anything. I am the youngest of 4 brothers and 2 sisters and I was the Gunnea Pig.
one of the three sure ways to tell a poisonous snake is catch the snake and take it by the tail and turn it over. if the scales from the anus to the tip of the tail are solid across like on the belly drop the snake. it's poison. if they are broken it's not poisonous.
and i had a close encounter with a rattlesnake in water. never dreamed of a rattlesnake in the water. but i've dreamed of it since. they float on top of the water like a cotton mouth and hold the rattles straight up, i suppose, to keep them out of the water.
All poisionous snakes swim with their head up out of the water.
Till I decapitate it with a 12 guage....
man i hate snakes
Snakes that are poinous have a blount nose and tail and the ones that are not have long pointed nose and tail.
sounds like a bunch of snake sissies to me.
I can't believe that a man that won't eat boiled peanuts said somebody was a sissy....bwahahahaha RoflQuote:

Knew a guy at work that was fishing with his son. A rattle snake was swimming across the lake and he hooked it with a topwater bait. Then the DA tried to get it off and it bit him in his arm. While the snake had a hold of his arm he reacted by grabbing the snake right behind the head, Thus pumping more venom into his arm. Needless to say his son, who was 13 had to drive him to the hospital cause he passed out on the way. He was in the hospital for about a month. They had to cut his whole arm open from one end to the other and pack it with gause. The only good snake is a dead one!!!
Yup, I was up n those willows the last couple of days myself. I was looking up every time I crossed under a twig. For added security, I was packing my 9mm with snake shot. I never saw a cottonmouth was the weird thing though, just a bunch of water snakes and some that looked like racers with no place to go.
well now you can, and real men don't eat boiled peanutsQuote:
