I don't understand your post. "You think don't research and acquiring knowledge is a waste of time?" What does that translate to? I really don't understand how the care of bite from either species is "basically the same" yet they would waste time figuring out how you were bit by a snake misidentified? My only point is he saved an animal! Congrats to the op. he is not a scientist, or researcher just a reptile lover doing some good.

My most humble of apologies for confusing you. It was a typo it should have read "you think that... ".
By the time I noticed what it said it was to late to edit my post. But on the plus side you were right about something at least. Some people do love to nit pick.

Good job.

But in future, don't bother pinning a venomous snakes for no reason.

1. You aren't experienced in pinning venomous snakes, you are presenting yourself with an opportunity to get tagged.

2. It's needless stress on the animal. Just get a stick, and move it. End of story.



That's not viridis Jason, that's Crotalus oreganus - Northern pacific rattlesnake.

You are correct. Old habits die hard I suppose. I completely forgot that they had been elevated from a sub species of viridis to there own species. And don't worry I don't think you were showing off with your knowledge at all.
