[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 759095, member: 6543"] We don't have rattlers here but have scads of copperheads. my wife has been bitten and two dogs. Last dog that got bit was mousing and uncovered a snake. got her on the face and she swole up like a basketball. I took her to vet clinic cause I was afraid she would not be able to breathe. they loaded her with antibiotics and inflamatory stuff and she got better real quick. Vet said if she had been a smaller dog that it probably would have killed her. Rose probably weighs 75 lbs. I was doing something about two weeks ago at the cattle trough and looked down to see a snake tail disappearing into the spilled hay right at my boot. Not enough to see what kind but definitly not a black snake. I grabbed a pitch fork to try to uncover it and never did find it. Lot of junk and stuff in the barn. we have the black widow and brown recluse spiders as well. I think the brown recluse is the most dangerous of all the venomous critters we have. that one will cost you body parts. [/QUOTE]
