[QUOTE="GnometownHero, post: 3764837, member: 47828"] I learned anout venomous snake safety from Bob Jenny at boy scout camp, actually saw him get bit on the hand by a baby diamondback while doing a demonstration at Okeene. I have safely handled many rattlesnakes and copperheads, I dont mess with stanky cottonmouths ever, but always tell myself, do it enough and up the odds that you will get bit. Good friend of mine got a small 1/4" scratch on her thumb from a diamondback strike that almost missed her, her swollen thumb looked like a russet potato and it cost her several thousand$ in medical bills. I wish I had a picture of the last Arkansas timber rattler I caught, it was huge, 7' long, body diameter as big as a Harley tire, head as big as a big mac hamburger with almost 1 1/2" long fangs. Beautiful marking hide freshly molted and 14 rattles. I made tacos out of the meat and sold the tanned hide to an old HA for $100. [/QUOTE]
