I was actually bitten by a kingsnake this weekend. I've caught alot of snakes (rat snake, chicken snake, water snake, copperhead, puff adder, garter snake, grass snake, black racers.) I usually try to catch em when I see 'em lol. Instead of kill them especially the kings cause they eat copperheads and cotton mouths or water mocasins. I have been bitten by most of them exceptthe posionous ones and I have heard that it can still make you sick but I never experienced any ill side effects. I love the picture of the the snake shot with a bow. I have done that before but he was on the move and it took way more than one shot. Haha. I dont wear snake boots only rubber boots no insulation........what can I say.....my feet get hot and it cuts down on scent distribution.
Are you aware that puff adders are found in Africa and Africa only?
You must be thinking of another snake... unless your from Africa.[&:]
That was a really long time ago and thats what my dad told me it was because it flattened itself out. It wasnt a long snake maybe 1.5 feet and if I remember right it was sandy colored with a short head and dark markings on its back. I caught it in Florida near Land O' Lakes. Ifpuff addersare from Africa strickly then I suppose that the pythons in the Everglades are native to that area also. HA. I dont really remember what it was but thats what I was told, now that I think of it, maybe it was like a pygmy hog snake or something. I dunno someone tell me so I can be corrected. I kind of like to keep up with stuff like that. Once again I think I said this is another posting but that picture is the coolest. See ya'll
