Around 7-8 in the past 2 years. But they were all either trying to catch the snake (or looking for other snakes). The worst was around 16 days in the ICU and 88 vials of anti-venin. The most recent one was a bite from a Sonoran coral a couple weeks ago - the only one I know bitten while free-handling a catch.
Incidentally, I just got back from a TX/AZ trip and caught 59 rattlesnakes (8 different species). 79 snakes/21 species in total.
ETA: I haven’t been bitten by a venomous snake yet, but did take a bite from a baby gila monster on last month’s Arizona trip.

Saying they only chase people who are inexperienced with snakes is obviously sarcasm.
I reiterate - you weren’t chased by a snake. The snake fled from you and you just happened to be in between the snake and where it was fleeing to. Your irrational fear had you thinking you were being chased.
Countless herpers have recorded themselves attempting to get a snake to chase them. And it just doesn’t happen for one simple reason - snakes don’t chase people.

Look at the arrogance of this guy
I’ve caught literally hundreds of cottonmouths, as well as hundreds of rattlesnakes. It’s funny how snakes never chase guys who are knowledgeable about snakes - even when we try to entice them to do so. They only chase people who are inexperienced with snakes, and no one ever gets it on camera. Snakes chasing people are about as real as bigfoot.

No…you haven’t.
A snake came in your general direction while trying to get away from you.

A kid in my neighborhood stabbed and killed my friend’s little brother during an argument when they were around 13-14. We were a few years older so I knew the kid but didn’t hang out with him or anything.
ETA: Also my uncle shot and killed my grandmother then killed himself later that night. Guess that counts too.

I paid a little over $100 for my Fenix headlamp for snake hunting (plus 5 extra batteries and a dual & 4-battery charger). Best money I’ve ever spent.
One of those few items that if lost, there are no half measures - instantly replace.

The movie was such a pile of crap - what they did to the legacy of Land of the Lost was a crime against humanity…even worse than what they did to Speed Racer.
I got a Honda Z50 the very next year at age 6.

I always find this to be hilarious.
People talk about “how many championships Saban would’ve won at LSU.” But at a more storied football school that historically had the greatest coach ever, players came because they were paid - not because Saban surpassed the Bear because he is now the greatest college football coach ever. All of the top schools have always paid players.
I’m 60 (and feeling it this year). Been catching snakes since I was 5 or 6 years old, but just started the serious roadtrip stuff a couple years ago. My dad and my uncle used to catch snakes, so they got me started.
Saw a few and finally got close to one…
