In a duck boat on Pecan Island I guarantee the cotton mouths would swim at and attack the boat. Most aggressive snakes I've ever seen. They weren't fleeing from anybody.

This why it's good to have kingsnakes around.

I wish someone would finally get some video of these black panthers.

I never saw a leviathan before. Next time I want to see video. It sounds to me like you are terrified of snakes and your mind has you believing a snake is trying to tip the boat and bite you.

talk to kayak fisherman who have seen rattlesnakes in the bays and they will follow you too. they arent attacking, just curious and probably looking for a break from swimming.

funny cotton mouths are so aggressive but rank near the bottom in reported snake bites....

#1 is perhaps the most docile...
#2,3,4,5 and 6 are rattle snake species....

I wonder if it is possible to buy pregnant kingsnakes or some baby kingsnakes?

I would love to have some to release at my place.

That's terrible. I nearly stepped on one in some brush near a lake the other day. I guess I'm pretty lucky he chose to slither off rather than strike.

Snake venom varies in consistency from region to region, even within the same species. Then you have different species of venomous snakes that have different types of venom.

Finding certain snake species is very difficult, as local populations become fragmented, or disappear altogether.

The antivenom production process is tedious and painstakingly slow. It has to be purified and tested on animals before it can be packaged, freeze dried and ready for shipment.
