Since on the subject of snakes, remember half the bites are to the arms or hands. That means look twice before you stick your hand down towards the ground.
Love transcends this world we live in to Heaven.
I'll leave it to you to figure out where the opposite goes.
If your heart is in it you will find a thousand ways to achieve your goal.
If your heart is not in it you will find a thousand excuses.
Ouija Board and map dowsing , one and the same. Just tape a map onto the Ouija Board and you have map dowsing.
Works great if you like wild goose chases and snipe hunts!
L-rods are obsolete.
May you never take one single breath for granted.

Most of the rattlesnakes bites around here are people who don't know the proper way to pick up a rattler and get bit on their hand or arm. I've been bit by garter snakes that twist their head around real quick, and I thought I had a good hold of them.

I pick up every snake I see, including Copperheads and Rattlers. I use a special stick for the latter two though.

Oh good gracious!!! Need to keep my lawn mowed!
I was bitten on my right knee by a copperhead when I was aged 12. Got a trip to the hospital out of that, some kinda shots.
I don't really remember any serious issues for me except being very afraid, didn't like the shots, and to date pay attention to the ground around me.
I made it to 72 and am far more afraid of spiders than I am of snakes....

Here in Louisiana I grew up by a canal where we caught by hand baby water moccasins, baby copperheads, speckled king snakes and huge alligator snapping turtles. Never got bit thank goodness.

Some friends were out hiking by the river and one guy said to stomp your feet or use a stick to stir up the bushes ahead of you to avoid snake confrontations. So one guy starts walking ahead stomping his feet, hadn't got very far and all primed-up for action and a big bullsnake reared up right in front of him about crotch-high and started hissing at him, sounded a bit like a rattlesnake. I wish I could have seen the look on that guy's face and heard that sound he made.

The proper way to pick up any poisonous snake is only after it's been dead for a day or so.
Yummy.

Treasure every day!
I used to raise finches. The snakes would sneak in the aviary & eat a bird. Then they were too fat too get back out through the screen. I would take them out to the country and let them go. They got a few parakeets over the years too!
It would seem we are now up a famous tributary without any means of locomotion.
