Great video. Though i have been bitten several times over my life of snake owning, the only time i ever had any serious trouble was from a (not kidding) garter snake bite when i was in 6th grade. She was my pet, and i was afraid to hurt her by getting her off my finger. She was eating, and i reached in to move a tadpole back into her dish, when she nailed me.
Even colubrids can pack a punch if allowed to get you all the way back to their rear fangs. I was in the hospital overnight! silly me.
I love your videos on venom collection - so informative! I was wondering how Jim is doing now. Over 15 yrs ago, I had a deep puncture wound in the hand, and got gram - sepsis. In and out of the hospital for about a year, so I know some of what he's gone through!

@TheArkyrebel Yikes, that doesn't sound like a good time at all! Jim is doing better, though the wrist is still stiff and somewhat painful, he is back to work. Thanks for the comment.

the only thing that I like about snakes in my country is that they flee as soon as they notice you. Is there any species that would actually approach you to bite you?

@BohemianJan No, all snakes will run away if they have the chance.

Jim We watch all of KY vids (my 6yr old daughter Michelle and I). She says she hopes you feel better soon and says she will pray for you. I will pray you too and I will be looking for updates. This is a real eye opener for a hot keeper who has never been bitten. God bless you Jim. I am glad that you will be okay.
This should be posted on VR
