Even a tiny amount of venom would NOT be fun! A tiny amount from a rattlesnake could be very painful (from tissue swelling & complications), land you in the hospital, cause loss of tissue (-got any that you wouldn't mind losing? ), loss of function (!) and depending on the rattlesnake & the circumstances, might even kill you (some have more neurotoxic components than others). Just a tiny amount from a cobra can KILL you- their neurotoxic venom stops your breathing & heart muscles. There's no such thing as a good venomous bite, IMO.
Oh absolutely, I just meant I think some people think the babies are harmless or something so they can not respect them they same way they do an adult which is not the case obviously. I'll be staying a safe viewing distance away from anything that can rot my skin off if that's cool with everyone
