Yeah gloves are more or less worthless unless you are dealing with something like a Gila or Beaded lizard like i said. In that case, you dont want them chewing their venom into you since they dont have fangs to inject it. All the snake bites i have taken were pretty much so quick i just looked at it and was like 'wha!!'. Most dont even hurt either as they are just defensive bites which are quick anyways.
Yep. Lightening fast. I had to be careful not to react but was also careful what I allowed within range of their bite. Eyes or nose would be a disaster.
