Maybe something Italian?

Heh. I glimpsed a spider out of the corner of my eye while I was working outside last year, so I instinctively stomped on it. I was wearing my work boots - steel toe, size 11 ( that's right ladies, 11..
I ended up just twisting around until something "popped." It looked like some sort of tarantuala, with a very hard, shell-like body.
*shiver*
I'd have probably been screaming like a little girl the whole time!

Actually in Dadeville now. New house is right off 280.
Been to the new Johnny Corino's?
Yeah, it's not bad but I prefer Provino's.
You have freaks for kids!
A friend of mine tried to get me to hold a tarantula once. She loved them. I told her thanks but no.

Not in the grand scheme of things. But I am interested to know WHY people assume it's male. It's seems kind of weird to me.

For what it's worth, sucking your blood out of the wound immediately after a snakebite and swallowing it can be a lifesaver in a pinch. Not something I'd do if bitten by a copperhead, even without ready medical assistance, considering I'd be quite adverse to cutting my own leg and drinking my blood... But I'd certainly do it in a pinch if the stakes were high, like with a red coral snake or viper
Why swallow it?
My understanding is you're not supposed to suck on the wound, etc. The correct first aid procedure is to put a firm (but not extremely tight) bandage around the wound, remain still, and seek medical assistance (call ambulance).

I was amazed actually. These are the same kids that a few weeks agoi screamed like they were being dismembered when they say a tiny spider on the bathroom floor.
Dad did it first, so maybe that helped

Was it not at home, then? Seeing a spider/bug/etc. at home evokes different responses.

I'm sure swallowing would not be necessary. The emphasis is probably on that so that people aren't scared stiff that they'll die if they accidently swallow a little. Suck and spit would work better, I think.
Yes, torniquite (sp?) can help, but if you're in a spot where medical attention is unreachable, either the venom will reach your bloodstream sooner or later, or you'll lose your leg due to lack of circulation. If you can get over the squeemishness of it, sucking the blood (and poison) out of the wound could mean life or death, if it's a dangerous venom.
A copperhead IS a viper. As are cottonmouths, and rattlesnakes.Originally posted by: pacmanfan

Yeah since I walk on that trail all the time I looked into it and I think it was a Glossy Snake which is non-venomous so thats relieving.
Driving along today I saw something in the road. Soon as I saw what it was I thought of this snake topic. These two snakes may be exhibitionists, but at least they're not trespassing.

No, no and no.
Sucking the bite only meens that you now have the venom in your mouth, and yes it can still do harm. Don't use a torniquite, it doesn't really help much. And cutting the bite some say doesn't help any when trying to draw the venom out, it may even make it a bit worse

you know dead rattle snakes can still bite and kill you, no BS
oh the venom in the massasauga is one of the most deadly drop per drop. but they don't have lots of it. and there fangs are small and short. plus there small snakes and have hard time strength wise driving there fangs in you. but if they get you good in a good vien, your in big trouble. babies are born alive, no eggs, unlike many other rattlers.
they also don't rattle (buzz) like people think, and if they do it's usually when your 30 to 75 feet away and not up close. there buzz sounds like a locus grasshopper

This guy needs to look for any source of prey the snake might have followed.
Also, the hole ths snake crawled thru could be a place like a a crack between 2 sheets of panelling.
It might have pushed it it open, and the hole might not be readily apparent.
Has it been recently warm, then turn cold in you area. Snakey might have just been looking for a warm spot and decided to explore.
If you have mice, you will have snakes.

Didnt you read the first post? the snake was after the mouse, just not the furry kind. i'd definitely would go around the house and make sure there arent any more around. make sure to wear steel toe boots too.
