I was bitten by a copperhead once... man did that make me feel sick

I was bit about 4 times by a pissed off coral snake one time. I felt pretty quesy for a few days. But those coral snakes have nothing on a brown snake. One of those tagged me twice in the Outback and I was pretty sick for a few days.

Steve Irwin is that you???

Krikies!

Have a look at THIS one!
*runs over in front of snake* This is the most poisoness snake in the world. If he tags you
*strike*
KRIKY!! He got me good!

make sure you try to stick your finger in its Cloacae.

not very big

From what I understand, the little ones can be more dangerous. Adult snakes don't inject venom with every strike ... maybe sort of a warning strike as they describe in the story. But young snakes almost always do.

That's right!

I'd rather go to Lowe's and get bitten by a rattlesnake than even walk in the door at Walmart.

I thought Lowes and Walmart were the same company? Aren't they related?

I'm from TN and have seen these snakes for years. It's not a big deal because, as the story said, it's doubtful that the man will suffer too badly from the bite. The real issue is: What would happen if a child had been playing at Lowes and been bitten by this snake. It would definitely have been a totally different situation.
