I've been catching snakes my whole life. I've caught countless garter snakes, water snakes, etc. The problem is that I live in Wisconsin...there isn't many dangerous snakes up here. We have a few very small areas that have some rattlers but there aren't many and coming across one is very rare. Whenever I'm in those areas I do my best to find one, but never have been able too. I've always wanted to catch a venomous snake, just don't really have the opportunity to try...but perhaps thats a good thing haha.
