Heres my oh so facinating story about a snake and me...

Around 6:00 on monday, i got bit by a moccasin.. I was helping my neighbor pick up some wood to take to the road for trash day.. My neighbor picks up some and i get the rest.. I come back for the last piece and there he is, laying there all curled up then he strikes..(i got bit on the right hand, the bird finger)

My neighbor goes to call 911 and i stand there trying to cut his head off with clippers while bleeding with a swollen hand... I manage to cut his head off without getting bit a 2nd time. After that the ambulance comes and takes me to the hospital and thats about it.

It was my first encounter with a poisonis snake..

tell me what you think

I guess i am always there when it comes to things

just out of curiosity, how far is the nearest body of water?

I ran over a water moccasin in with an outboard boat once. very satisfying. Also, they are definatly the worst kind of snakes, no warning (rattler) or anything, and they are very aggressive. At least the ones we have here in texas.

Well I hate snakes because of all the movies I have seen regarding their venoms. I am from Africa and I know what snakes are capable of doing when they strike. One of my friends in elementary school got killed by a snake while he was swimming. The story I was told by witnesses was he tied a rope knee high to stop the flow of venom. He ended up loosening the tie because it was uncomfortable. His mouth developed a bitter taste and he couldn't move and died. I don't know if you felt any symptoms from your bite but then this snake that attacked you was not powerful to do damage.

Well, the nearest pond was about 50 feet away... not that far.. sometimes they like to come on land to warm up..

Moccasins are different though, they come after you instead of you going after them..
