Baws, be careful out there. Snakes, especially Copperheads are thriving in the South right now.
Anyone have any interesting experiences with snakes?

I just adopted a pit bull specifically to protect me from copperheads.

Also remember to teach your kids about nature's dangers before setting them loose. This kid got real lucky it was a dry bite

I grew up with a levee right behind our property line. Snakes all the damn time. We kept the shovel on the porch basically year round.

I just saw on The outdoor board that a snake bite costs you $150,000.

If you are hit by a copperhead get someone to suck the venom out

Thanks OP for giving me another thing to be nervous about that I have basically no control over.
Two little boys 3 y/o and 9 months that’s were both blessed with recklessness, curiosity and for the older one disregard of all instructions make them prime candidates to become victims of the elements.

This is why I spend extra money on snake boots that are comfortable to walk in so I’ll default to wearing them.

Copperheads? I’d worry about all those GDKC’s!!!

Where I live, I see copperheads once in awhile, but black widows are everywhere. A couple of months ago, I replaced an old 6’ treated pine fence around my pool area and I stacked the old fence boards by my shed, to dispose of later. Went out there Saturday to get rid of the boards and found a couple of black widows had setup shop in the pile. They’re just as venomous as a copperhead and will leave a nasty reminder of that if bitten.

Pretty sure both the "average bill is 150k" and the "insurance won't cover" are both falsehoods driven by a couple of recent outlier stories

Snakes ain't got enough nuts to replace me

Although venomous, these snakes are generally not aggressive and bites are rarely fatal. Copperhead venom has an estimated lethal dose around 100 mg, and tests on mice show its potency is among the lowest of all pit vipers, and slightly weaker than that of its close relative, the cottonmouth. Copperheads often employ a "warning bite" when stepped on or agitated and inject a relatively small amount of venom, if any at all. "Dry bites" involving no venom are particularly common with the copperhead, though all pit vipers are capable of a dry bite.

The OB will get their panties in a wad over it but if there's a venomous snake near my house that bitch is dying. Humans are the dominant species in the food chain and a snake is in my territory. He's dead.

The good news is that copperheads don’t move around much during the hottest parts of the day.
The bad news is that I usually encounter them when I’m doing something like taking the trash out at 9:00 at night and nearly step on one while wearing Crocs. Then it slithers into the shadows, and makes an escape before I can grab a weapon.

200 people die everyday from snakebites worldwide
5 die a year in the US
Just thought that was a crazy statistic
