I haven’t heard that one.

What’s the plan if one of you does get tagged by a venomous one? Do you carry medical stuff? Document the locations of hospitals that can treat a bite before you leave home?
Or would it be jinxing yourselves to do anything like that?

Right now the plan would play out something like this:
1) The one bitten yells “Owwww!!!!”
2) The other one of us yells “Oh f#%k!!!”
3) One of us grabs our phone, hopes we have cell service wherever we’re at, and starts vigorously googling “hospitals near me” while the other writhes in pain and starts swelling
Admittedly, not the best of plans.
Though I don’t want to exaggerate my un-preparedness - I did bring these:

I have seen them where the tip was 1/8” long or slightly longer, but only on the younger ones.
The pinning of prey really doesn’t make sense to me. Why wouldn’t it use its whole body to hold its prey like other colubrids? The only way that I can imagine that being the case is if it evolved and gained the tip to help hold amphiumas and other similar slippery amphibians, and that very well could be the case.

Incredible finds on the Scarlet King and Hognose.
If you don't mind, do you have a link to your friend's YouTube (or maybe just the channel name)? I watch all that kind of stuff and would like to give him a shot.

In Think I read that they are now classifying hognose as venomous (weird) & endangered now (sad)

Would love to one day see a wild indigo, I think I may have seen one up in a tree once a truly massive snake but he was so high up it could have been something else and no one believed me for were I say I saw it, though fwc I think went to the area to see if they could find it

How many coral snakes have you seen in north Louisiana?
And a whole lot of nope on that cotton mouth and the rattlers. I catch nonpoisonous snakes but I don’t mess with poisonous ones.

Never really herped north La.
Right now we’re searching for corals here, but no luck. Someone got one yesterday at the spot we’re at.

Did you speak in tongues while holding the snakes and drink Strychnine afterwards?

I live in NW Florida and had a hognose on my property. The most beautiful snake I ever saw. Every time I would get near it, he would flatten out his head like an adder. I didn't like that. A guy from the county extension office came and got it for his snake loving kid. He said he hadn't seen one that pretty either.
Now I have black racers and rat snakes. Once had a corn snake. One of my friends down a few streets got bitten by a pygmy rattler in her yard. It was a dry bite though. She said it didn't even rattle.
