    Side yard, and it was winter so no, not really. I also put it probably 2-3 feet deep trying to avoid some dick head wild animal digging it up.

    And apparently it is legal to have a cobra as a pet in Texas.

    SAN DIEGO -- A local man who was nearly killed while trying to take a selfie with a rattlesnake racked up a whopping $150,000 hospital bill.

    Doctors depleted the anti-venom stash at two different hospitals to treat Todd Fassler, who as it turns out once had a pet rattlesnake of his own. He sent us video he says shows him setting his snake free.

    Fassler said he had the rattlesnake for more than a year but let it go because he thinks animal services would appreciate it.

    Death adders can strike, envenomate, and be prepared to strike again in 0.15 seconds, which is the fastest of any snake. Cool little video on them, though I strongly disagree with the assessment of their venom being anything other than highly toxic.

    I'm not scared of any snakes, but it's the small ones that get you. Check out saw-scaled vipers if you aren't familiar with them. Russell's vipers are pretty fucking mean looking, too.

    I once accidentally blew up a friends spot while we were still in high school.

    He brings home a Burmese like this one that was maybe only two months old at the time. I'm checking the thing out and I said to him "I can't believe your mom is letting you keep this - what are you going to do when it's better than 6 feet long this time next year?"

    His mom overheard me. Snake was gone that weekend. Though that was probably best for all involved parties.

    They and rat terriers (which are a very similar dog in size, smarts, and athleticism) were bred for this reason. My dog (have jack russell/dachshund mix which both breeds were bred for) and they are amazing at these things.

    My parents had a rat terrier (actually we have had several of them) and lived on a farm. My dad would take it hunting on a regular basis. That means going into our old barns or the trees so it would kill any little creature it would find. We never had a rat problem.

    Seriously, they are fucking fearless. My little shit (all 18 pounds of her) was attacked by a boxer one time and even though the boxer was 5x her size she started attacking the boxer back before me and the boxer's owner got a hold of both dogs.

    They might not win the fight, but they sure as hell won't back out of the ring.

    That's a lot of Crofab.

    I'm sure it varies, but insurance doesn't cover more than a few thousand for something like this. The alternative is death if it's not a dry bite, so....

    Being in Arizona, we get quite a few of these. Mostly people hiking or walking outside their house at night (often barefoot).

    I had one of those shit heads swimming on top of the water straight towards me in a lake once. I couldn't imagine a non venemous snake being so aggressive so I'm sold it was a water moccasin.

    What kind of weirdo would want a cobra, guy probably deserved death. Buy a python to offset your little dick syndrome, having a cobra is the dumbest shit ever.

    Beaver County man dies after rattlesnake bite in Elk County

    Timber rattlesnakes are the most common of the two types of rattlesnakes found in Pennsylvania.


    [​IMG]
    By Karen Kane / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
    A Beaver County man became the first victim of a fatal rattlesnake bite on record in Pennsylvania in at least a quarter-century Sunday.

    Russell E. Davis, 39, of Freedom died early Sunday after he was bitten during a camping trip with his girlfriend in Elk County.

    He was putting wood on a campfire shortly before midnight Saturday at his family’s camp in Medix Run, about 125 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, when he was bitten by a rattlesnake, according to Armstrong County Coroner Brian K. Myers.

    “He went running into the camp and told his girlfriend to take him to a hospital,” Mr. Myers recounted, based on his interview with the woman.

    While en route, Mr. Davis began to have severe breathing problems, Mr. Myers said. The woman stopped at a local tavern for help. An ambulance was summoned and CPR was begun, Mr. Myers said.

    In all, about 30 minutes had elapsed by the time an ambulance arrived, the coroner said. Mr. Davis then was transported to Penn Highlands Health Care in St. Marys, Elk County, where he already was in “acute respiratory distress,” Mr. Myers said.

    The coroner was told by Penn Highlands personnel that an anti-venom treatment was given before Mr. Davis was put in a medical helicopter so he could be transported to a Pittsburgh hospital for additional treatment.

    But, before he could reach Pittsburgh, he went into full cardiac arrest and the helicopter landed at ACMH Hospital in Kittanning, Armstrong County. He was pronounced dead at 5:23 a.m. before any treatment could be given, Mr. Myers said.

    Chance encounters with rattlesnakes are called “rare” by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

    On its website, the agency states: “There have been no deaths in Pennsylvania attributable to timber rattlesnake bites for at least the past 25 years."

    Timber rattlesnakes are the most common of two types of rattlesnakes found in Pennsylvania. The second type, the massasauga, is concentrated in only two areas: Venango and Butler counties.

    Ray Bamrick, the lead reptile keeper for the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium since 1995, said he never has heard of a fatal venomous snakebite in this region. The cure for a poisonous snakebite is anti-venom, which is kept in stock at many hospitals, he said.

    Mr. Myers ruled the cause of Mr. Davis’ death as anaphylactic reaction to a venomous snakebite and ruled it an accident. No autopsy will be performed.

    According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 7,000 and 8,000 people receive a venomous snakebite annually and about five of those people die.

    Mr. Bamrick said precautions are taken at the zoo to protect against life-threatening snakebites, ranging from always notifying other staff members when he is working with a venomous snake to ensuring that his colleagues know how to respond if someone ever would be a victim of a potentially life-threatening snakebite.

    Essentially, aside from laying the victim down and attempting to position the bite wound below the level of the patient’s heart, the treatment entails getting a patient to a medical facility where anti-venom can be administered as quickly as possible.

    “You don’t use constriction bands or tourniquets. You don’t cut the wound and try to suck out the venom. … You want to notify EMS and get to a hospital,” he said.
