I know right.....they are the scariest!:8:

LOL

That is funny........watch out of the Coppermouthed Diamondheaded Watersnakes.....:D

It appears that the elusive copperhead rattlesnake caiught up with these unfortunate individuals
HONG KONG (Reuters) - More than 400,000 people are poisoned by snakebites worldwide each year and 20,000 of them die, with most cases occurring in the poorest countries, researchers say.

In an article published in U.S.-based open access Public Library of Science Medicine, the researchers said the burden from snakebites was highest in South and Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

Data on snakebites is far from comprehensive as most of them happen in places with poor healthcare systems and where record-keeping is generally poor or non-existent.

For this study, the researchers trawled through 3,256 published articles and extracted data on 68 countries.

They said, according to a conservative estimate, there are 421,000 cases of envenoming, or venom delivered through biting, each year and which lead to at least 20,000 deaths.

But the actual figures could be several times higher.

-Rolls her eyes.- POISONOUS snakes? -Bangs her head against a wall.- Moron.

They have found a couple of specie to actually be "poisonous"

The genus Rhabdophis is found to use the toxins from the frogs/toads it eats to ward off predators. And some garter specie have some toxins on them as well.

However calling venomous snakes poisonous snakes is a big thing with me as well......my 10 year old son corrects people....rofl and he can explain the difference to them to prove his case!.... :D

It did! And the babies? They were slimy and their fangs were huge! They wanted to kill someone because that's what all snakes do anyways. I mean, they're like so dangerous.

Mainbutter I would love to join you on your quest for the cobra python!
Im also currently searching for the rattleheadedcoppermoccasin! Oh the poison is terrifing!

This guy is classic with his quotes....

"It's a sucky experience, I can say that."

"I felt like I was higher than a kite. I was wobbling all over, and everything was going in circles."... Is this the next best thing to licking poisonous toads!?!?:rolleye2:

the reporter kinda hinted to the fact that he lost his hand but didn't really say if he did or not.
"Fortunately, Couch's quick thinking saved his life. But the bite came with serious potential consequences. 'They said two things could have happened: It could have caused me to get my hand amputated, or it could have killed me,' he said. 'So I said, 'Let's get this taken care of; I don't want to get my hand amputated, and I'm not ready to die.'"


The whole thing is so horrible it seems like a joke article ... ABC needs to find some better employees and some better victims :rofl:

Well you must take pictures then!

i love when i find some rattlencoppermoccasins. they are rare, but you just gotta know where to find em. lol

Its not the copperhead rattle snakes we need to worry about. Its the spitting pythons. He is lucky he didn't run into one of those.

Hey you guys shut up! I for one have a copper headed rattlesnake on its way...

He is also 27% het for pastel...

I got a heck of a deal on him only $25,000. I got him from one of them brokers from Mozambique, I also sent him $5,000 something about he is a millionare and the gov is after his money so he is going to send it all to me he just needed some good faith money.... or something like that. :gj:

Down here in Houston we have highly poisonous rattleheaded copper moccasins. They interbreed with green taipan boas to form dancing unicorns, which can be observed in spring when they try to join packs of coyotes.

Whenever me and my friends are bored and having cravings, we just go out there and find us a copperhead rattlesnake to get bitten by and i swear by it we fly higher than kites.. :banana:

Too bad no one has found the snake bite to make you higher than an eagle. Probably one of those elusive Indonesian species.

I'll bet that turtlenecked green pit mamba they found in eastern indoshinia and surrounding isles will get you there.

I think it's the Terradactyl python.

Uh oh, humanity strikes again...
