I've always wanted a hognose, your site just may have put me over the edge. It would be my only non-python. Ugh this snake addiction is tough.

Re: Serpent-Handling West Virginia Pastor dies after snake bite
Rattlesnakes must be more docile than I thought if he lived that long.

You mean less deadly. Docile describes their behavioral disposition and how likely they are to bite.

Actually docile is what I meant. I have never been bit by a rattlesnake, but I understand that unless it is a dry bite, the result is quite painful at a minimum. And I figured the guy would have stopped earlier had the snake bit him before.

I have personally found Timber Rattlesnakes to be pretty docile, although I never trust handling them free hand. Being the second largest Rattlesnake in the US they do have a lethal bite most of the time, if you do not receive emergency treatment.

Yes, that was my understanding, living in Ohio. They are not very likely to bite, but if they do you are in trouble. I was surprised that the guy even got this far.

Re: Serpent-Handling West Virginia Pastor dies after snake bite
Oh man, my reaction to this is beyond words, especially as a Pentecostal Christian. Handling venemous snakes smacks in the face and throws out all logic and common sense.
