I CAME ACROSS A CERTAIN SNAKE WALKING HOME LAST WEEK AND DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS POISONOUS OR NOT. SO FOR SAFTY REASONS I WALKED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. CAN YOU SPOT ANY SNAKE TO SEE IF IT'S A VENOMOUS SNAKE OR NOT?
 
Was it a trouser snake? If it was, pm Hanz or Nathan. I am sure they couldpoint you in the right direction.
 
I still say let it bite you and find out. Or grab a little kid and ask them if they want to play with your pet snake.

boy you sound seroious about the biting thing. thanks but no thanks bro.
 
Well,you got a pic or a decription?
I can tell you what it was more than likely.

You can't really go with those rules anylonger with the numbers of excapesees slithering around.

A guy was bit by an Indian cobra a few years ago in Fl walking in a field.

Funny you should mention a snake, I got bite by one just the before yesterday(small grass snake) while disk golfing.

I stomped him good, then threw him at fellow golfers how were high at the time. A good time was had by all, except the snake.
 
Take an axe or a machete and hack it into ten pieces and bury the pieces in a swamp that has lots of spooky looking hollow trees. If it comes back to life fully reassembled or as ten smaller snakes on a foggy night under the full moon, then it is venomous -- and it (they) will track you down and bite you and your loved ones.

If it doesn't come back to life, it wasnt venomous. But you'll have to watch out for other venomous snakes in the area, which otherwise would have been eaten by the non-venomous snake if you hadnt killed it. They, too, will track you down and bite you and your loved ones.

If you dont kill it, it surely is poisonous; and on the next foggy full-moon night, it will track you down and bite you and your loved ones.

In any case, the mere act of seeing a snake will result in you and your loved ones being bitten by a poisonous snake the next foggy full moon. And to make things worse, even if you dont see it -- well, just never mind. In any case, you and your loved ones are fucked come that next foggy, full-moon night -- especially if you live near a swamp with spooky looking hollow trees that harbor snakes and other critters that go CHOMP!!!! in the middle of the night.

If you dont see the snake, it could be because it's jumped up and chomped onto your nose and is dangling in front of you. That is one way they can hide from you, especially if it's a copperhead and its venom makes your nose swell up to the size of a watermelon.

But again, you might be just dreaming all this and ten seconds from now you will wake up in the middle of the night in a swamp surrounded by thousands of slithering, slimy, slinky creatures, oozing out of spooky looking hollow trees..

Snakes really arent evil creatures and just want to be left alone, they only bite if they feel that they are in danger. I have grown to like snakes here in AZ, I used to clean Pools and would find them all the time. After a rain they would be out in force. Please dont hack them up with a machete or "Stomp them good" thats not cool.

Hansel,

I agree and disagree. Water mocassins(sp) are evil. They will go right for you in the water. Where most snakes try to get away from you, they swim towards you I have seen it happen. I rembember one time this snake was biting our boat(well until it stopped because we whacked it with a ski over the head then it stopped).
 
Give me the descript of it, and I should be able to tell you...alot of good advice here on what to look for in a snake....

As a kid, I would hike the mountains and draw birds and snakes, flowers, and plants...then go to the library and look them up...I can still identify almost any plant or animal, and if they have any medicinal values to humans.....

Gotta love nature.

LMAO@all the responses on this thread...You guys are sick fucks,haha...I agree with Hansel,most snakes are mellow as shit and won't strike you unless you provoke the shit out of them.Most just want to get away,they don't want to waste their venom on a non-edible item.
 
I had a kingsnake,what a mean mother fucker,I couldnt tame it for shit,and couldnt even feed the fucker,so i sold it,now I want a ball python ,anybody got any good to tell about these guys?

The snake started shit with me 1st, so I had to straight represent.
 
Can You Identify Certain Snakes?

Yes! My advice is that if you can't identify it stay away! And even then I would stay away unless you now how to handle a venoms snake! Many of the venomous snakes venom is becoming more toxic to humans! It is getting harder to treat snake bite victims with anti venom! Paticulary the Mojave Rattlesnake and cross breeds of it in the SW! To make matters worse there is a shortage of anti venom!
 
I agree with DCup! It's best to leave wild animals alone -- not only snakes but also those animals one might think are cute and cuddly. I trust that no one actually believed the bit about cutting up a snake into ten pieces and those spookly looking hollow trees -- guess I shouldve use a smiley icon!

I'm curious as to why it's becoming harder to treat snakebites with antivenin. Are venomous snakes becoming more toxic? or what? I always thought the antivenin was derived from snake venom and if the venom were to change, the antivenin would change proportionately. Any good links on the subject?

Snake bites are becoming more toxic! It's natures way to combat the declining numbers of venomous snakes! Phsycians are having a hard time keeping up with anti venoms! Depending on when the bite happened, the health of the victim and type of venom it is getting to be real hard to treat the victims! Venom comes in all kinds of toxic "types" Some are hemotoxic, meaning it poisons the blood! Some are myotoxic, wich attack muscle, and some are neurotoxic wich attack the nervous system and efficiently shut down such vital functions as breathing!

Anti Venom has nasty side effects wich can kill the victims! Anti Venom is extremely expensive and it's profit margin for drug companies is nominal! Many parts of the US are posting warning signs in hiking/recreational areas to warn of the dangers of snake toxin and the shortage of anti venom!

No,Dcup.Snake venom is not becoming more toxic,Sorry can't happen.

Don't dig the hole too deep,I've kept and bred every snake you've heard of and about 100 more you've never heard of.When I was actively breeding and I was published several (12) times.

:confused: Explain why not then! Are you saying that a snake cannot evolve with more potent venom?

I did! By the way if a population of venomous snakes differ in the toxicity of their venom, if the more venomous snakes survive and reproduce better than less venomous ones, then the snakes will over time evolve more toxic venom!

However if you believe in creation then I understand your argument! It would be a difference in beliefs!:D

Oh yes but we're talking 10,000years if not more.You're talking of adaptation instead of evolution,it don't work like that.The entire venomous snake world said on a genetic level,"We're under attack,we need stronger venom".Which BTW has nothing to do with defence,(xcept in the case of spitting cobras),Venom is saliva in a simplest sense and the teeth modified to deliver it to the prey.Nature's pins;)

Is this increase of venom potentcy worldwide involving all taxa of venomous reptiles or is it localised to several species?

Most drastic leaps in evolution and adaptation happen in short spans time! I classify adaptation under the heading of evolution! The Mojave Rattlesnake for example has become harder to treat using anti venom! So I have two hypothesis: either their venom is getting more potent or Humans are regressing their ability to fight the toxicity of the venom! As far as the worlds other venomous snakes I do not know for sure what level of evolution and adaptation they are experiencing! But knowing the stress they experience from humans, I would expect them to become more venomous or face extinction!
 
Crotalus scutalatus,I think I got the spelling right,the Mohave has venom which is comprised of several different venoms,that's what makes it difficult to treat their bites.As if the hemotoxin doesn't get ya the neurotoxin componet will get you.As these snakes are desert animals and really don't have much contact with humans,it's really a moot point.

Yes,in small isolated groups changes can happen rather quickly due to inbreeding,usually there for the worst and not "For the survival of the species".This group of animals breed vary haphazardly,with things like sperm storage(I had a litter of rough scaled sand boas from a female that was bred 3 years prior) and breeding when they encounter a mate.There is no breeding competion so to speak.

The only "Venom change" I know of is from neonate (baby) to adult.Babies often have a stronger venom than adults as their prey may be ampibian or reptile vs the adult diet of mammals<(Mammals die alot quicker).

Actually since I'll be living in the ghetto soon I was going to buy a cheap mossberg and get some "less lethal" shells.


Wonder if my roommate would die if I shot him with one.
 
darktooth, you need to move out of the youth hostile. you drop the soap too much

mossberg typically jam by a remington 870 shortbarrel add a tactical grip and stock. you can shoot chipmunks
