...tell him to be more careful when removing unidentified snakes. Pick up an Audubon Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of North America and learn to identify the venomous snakes in your area.

If bitten by a non-venomous snake, use anti-bacterial soap and warm water on the bite. Then dry it and show off the bite to your friends.

A venomous snake bite will have 2 fang marks and will hurt like all hell as the venom attacks the living tissue.

A non-venomous bite will look like scratches and will itch.
