Fuck it, I am not going to help in any clean up.

I HATE snakes

I would look your mother in the eye and say, " Hello baby". Her panties would be so wet and heavy , they would drop to the floor.....SPLAT!

It can be a burden being me.

Political boundaries are not always very taxonomically or biochemically meaningful.  Fort Dodge has massive back stocks of the Wyeth veterinary product, and there is no shortage of the much more expensive (and IMO clinically inferior to the Mexican Bioclon polyvalent, at least as long as they continue to do that final filtration process to remove all the long-chain fragments) human approved CroFab for general use on North American Viperidae envenomations.

It is fucking difficult to get bitten by a North American Micrurus, for various reasons both physiological and behavioral.  Good luck achieving that even if you pick the snake up with your bare hands.  It's possible, but still pretty damn unlikely.  Current field conditions in the Gulf cleanup efforts are unlikely to increase anyone's chance of exposure to this primarily fossorial species, and may substantially decrease them.

MSNBC got hit by the stupid stick when they published that one, but no surprise.  This story sucks and contains very little truth or accuracy. Ask anyone in the scientific community, in any field, what they think of the accuracy of popular news reports.  Be prepared for a lot of descriptive four letter words.

Status: offline 		I hate snakes too, but I also know how to watch my ass around them. I am from an area with a bevy of rattlesnakes to contend with. You have to watch where you step and where you put your hands

Edited to add... I stepped on a snake once. and because I was near a city I did not think about the risks... it turned out to be a coastal rattlesnake....kinda scary!

Since then I always watch where I step.

I think they are gorgeous creatures actually. When I was a teenager, I used to do volunteer at a science centre and I got to feed mice to the snakes. However, I wasn't old enough to handle them.

I have to admit though, I'm used to seeing them behind glass where I can admire their pretty colours and form. I'm not so sure I'd be so brave face to face with an anaconda. But I'd say the same thing about an angry grizzly bear or a charging bull and I don't hate bears or bulls either.

There are certain species that require precaution when humans interact with them. The Real Housewives of New Jersey are venomous skanks.

I saw about a 4 foot Mojave Green rattler that had been run over on the freeway this morning. It probably came up and struck at the car that killed it, too.
