You know you're making some dumb decisions when the teenage boy is going "hey I don't think this is a good decision"....

That was painfully stupid to watch.... I kept hoping the snake was going to bite him honestly.

Learn to identify them and it will ease your fear of snakes.


There are 4 major species with 3 subspecies of copper head and 10 subspecies of rattle snake in all 15 different venomous snakes to identify, here is a good list google them for pictures,

A good rule of angling philosophy is not to interfere with another fisherman's ways of being happy, unless you want to be hated.

Bert, That is very informative but I think that I will stick with my current approach to snakes and just consider them all dangerous. After all I am sure that there are countless numbers of people who have injured themselves trying to get away from perfectly "safe" / non-lethal snakes.
