  • thanks brother.

  • That is very stupid. Last summer I got bit on my hand by a 4.5+ ft. long cottonmouth because I had it by the tail and I did not have my tongs, just a hook. It was about 5 in. in diameter and as strong a arnold schwazzeneger. I was expecting a strike and ready to let go and it still came up and bit me through 1 ft. of water quicker than I could even think about letting go. That rattlesnake could have done the same. Be CAREFUL.

  • Thanks brother, I hope you have recovered well from the Mocc bite.

  • hatchlingcopperhead thanks for the comment..to answer your question " no " I have been very lucky. Thank GOD..I have had many close calls,I try not to free handle unless I need to..its all about unerstanding and respect,some disagree. if the snake doesnt feel threaten then the chances are it will not bite "if you handle them right" but why take the chance..lots could go wrong.. I did it for myself to loose my fear of venomous snakes n textbook ways, thanks ONEBEAR
