Hi all. I hope this isn't a stupid question. A young boy near here was recently bit by what was said to either be a copperhead or a cottonmouth (Forget which) and I thought it was cottonmouth. He said that the doctor's told him the snake had the OPTION Of poisoning, or not poisoning when biting, depending on the level of threat. This boy was NOT poisoned.
Does anyone know if this is true? I'm doing research for a novel, and thought that would be a fun little tidbit to use in it if it's true, but I cannot find any support for it. For all I know they told him that becuse they didn't think it was a cottonmouth that bit him, but a non poisonous water snake.
