PaganRich, Mate you got some Vipars over there where you live, that will tear a rattlesnakes ass, up.
Cottonmouths are mean as hell, they just keep popping your ass, with those fangs.But you can smell them, on a good day, they stink, worse than a dead fish.
Only good snake in my book is a Kingsnake, and even they will make you sh-t on yourself, if you step on one, coming out of the woods at
night.
Ps, more people die from waspbites, every year than snakebites. They will make you sick as hell though, when I was 8-9years old I got bite by a rattlesnake pilot, And had to stay in an oxygen tent for 3days,
