Tweetoh hell no. i dont do snakes. they are the only thing on the planet i am absolutely deathly scared of. i have tons of snake stories. i have had my grand father shoot a copper head from between my legs in the woods. i have went to the front of a column that had halted on a range to see what the hell they were doing. only to walk to the end of the trail and hear a whisper to look down. inches from my foot was a timber rattler that was about 6ft long and as big around as my arm. i bet you i ran 50mph back down the trail. i also had a fellow sqt get bitten by a side winder out in 29 palms. we had all bedded down for the night only to be rousted up by a blood curling scream with that dude running around like a mad man. it had bit him on the side of the neck. they tried to calm him down for the med chopper to come pick him up. well it broke down on the way out and had to land. then they tried to ground evac him and they broke down. funny part of the story was it didnt get him with any venom at all but hearing him tell the story about how he almost died but didnt and how bad his luck was, was priceless.

Totally love your real life stories BUT I am calling BS that any snake you have ever seen has been 23" around or over. Your arm is of EPIC size. Love you!
