Angry Snake

Came across this little garter snake when I was out for a walk with my family. It was pretty defensive, but they are harmless. This snake was unharmed and moved to a safe location after filming.

@TheEvaAngelina I'd probably think that was cool. :P

For sure this is a Garter snake and has venom as well wikipedia/wiki/Garter_Snake

Garters were long thought to be nonvenomous, but recent discoveries have revealed that they do in fact produce a mild neurotoxic venom

@Jerome31051982 it's nothing most people would have to worry about. It's possible though that some people could be allergic to the venom, if it really qualifies as a venom.

@nofarm the water moccasin is also known as the cotton mouth, same snake.

@Jerome31051982 out of the dozens of garter snakes i have caught i have been bitten only twice. it was the same snake that had bitten me twice in a row because i had been unable to get a hold onto the snake close enough to the head and it turned and bit me. that was over 2 years ago. i never went to the hospital or sought medical attention for the bits. i put a band aid on it and returned to my normal activities. i didnt get an infection or react to any venom.
