All the news reports i read about people being bitten by snakes end up with someone shot the snake to find out what kind it was. People who live in areas where a venomous snake bite can occur should educate themselves about whats around them so in the event they are bitten the killing of an innocent snake can be avoided. and where is everyone getting guns?..

Im on the rattlers side, but i dont think that is realistic.

>>People who live in areas where a venomous snake bite can occur should educate themselves about whats around them so in the event they are bitten the killing of an innocent snake can be avoided.

At the very least, the any medical personell involved in the last story should know that the symptoms clearly indicate a viper (as opposed to a coral) in which case it doesn't really matter WHICH viper.

>>and where is everyone getting guns?..

You must be a city boy... In much of the country, every house has at least one gun.

Rest assured, guns are quite prevalent in cities, too.
