Fish, out at the beach? Or near your house?

red/black - king snake, non-poisionous

red/yellow- coral, neurotoxin, is poisionous but it isn't one of the more deadly snakes we have, they're usualy fairly docile...

western diamond back has the highest bite count, but coral snakes venom is more deadly.

Lots of snakes in Texas. Guy I know came home and found a large Water Moccasin on his kitchen table.

i was always facinated by snakes as a kid, loved to catch them. also loved to play with fire.

 

[calveless wonder]

i've only encountered two snakes ever not in the zoo/controlled state and both times i had an anxiety attack. you'll never catch me out in the country or anywhere near where they're populated

i hate those motherfuckers more than anything.

probably because indiana jones traumatized me as a kid...
that and when i was shrooming once when i was younger i thought i saw a bunch of snakes on the floor (they were cords).

indy jones came first though

Thats not true. Coral snakes are fixed front fanged elapids (Cobra) from the south east. They do have relatively small fangs though compared to vipers, but they dont need to chew on you to inject venom. Only a very few recorded fatalities so they arent one of the deadliest snakes one earth either, but they do have very toxic venom.

ok fuck me im stupid

I've always liked snakes.
I like lizards better, but snakes are cool.
Frogs and salamanders are probably my favorites though.
Amphibians > Reptiles
