I saw several Rattlers when i was in Texas. They're actually very polite Snakes. They let you know what's up. They start rattling you need to back the fuck up. They warn you before they bite you.

Unfortunately, that's no longer always true. Instead of backing away, many humans kill the rattlesnake when hearing one. Now they're evolving so they don't rattle.

I had one for dinner, once. Tasted like... CHICKEN. Now that was a rural Missouri Rattler. Here we get the fuck outta dodge when we hear one. Missouri is overrun with goddamned Snakes!
In Missouri they still Rattle, so i dunno...

The Snakes don't really fuck with you, though. Most of them just don't want you fucking with THEM.
Fuck with them and it could be YOUR ASS!

Well, sorry but I hear different.. A lady walked in a restaurant, she was just in the vestibule part, & she got bit.
I'm not saying it happens all the time, but they turn up in places, they've been found in planes that have come from a hot climate

People have died from fire ant bites, and africanized bees were a problem a few years ago, although we do not hear much about them now.



if its cooked right, and yes there are wrong ways to cook it which causes it to be stringy, it is firm and just like a fine filet. The norm is in finger sized portions though. The best place i ever had it was in New Smyrna Beach Florida at the Fish Camp on the Intercoastal.
Doesnt taste like Chicken, it has a very distinct flavor that is just gator








Even the greenery's fucked

If you can describe yourself as a "hard headed hippie"....You can be happy in Texas.





Not w/a water shortage, but sure, have @ it^
Sour snakes, lmao.
If I ever have the misfortune to be bitten, I'll have its personality evaluated

Well, if it bites you, and you didn't fuck with it, it's personality is obviously sour. Just an angry, irritable Snake. No evaluation needed. It has a Snake's version of a personality, but it does have one.
You have to remember, it doesn't want to bite you and when it does it uses the least amount of venom it can. It's a waste. It can't eat you. It just wants you to go away! They only have so much Venom.
Except for babies. Babies are fucking deadly. They don't know yet. They'll hit you with EVERYTHING they've got! Better have an Ambulance ready if you get bit by a baby!

Yes, I wrote about a lady in NM, wearing sandals, got bitten by a mother snake &5 babies..
Hospital time, had to use a walker for a while.
Being from.a cold climate, I wouldn't want to run into one, by moving to a hot climate.
It sounded like they were surprised/startled, & bit as a result.

Can they bite through boots?
Depends on the boots, but they don't always go for your boots. Your Jeans are a goner.

You can buy snake resistant boots, snake resistant pants, snake resistant chaps, snake leggings/gaiters.

Yeah, and how much do those cost. Cheaper to just back away. As i said, Missouri is overrun with fucking Snakes. They're all over the place.

There are links to numerous informative articles on that website.
I just back up. Like i said, Missouri is flippin overrun with snakes. I don't need snakeproof pants, i don't SWIM IN THE RIVER, so no Cottonmouths, either. I swim in POOLS. Fuck the river. The Mississippi is right next to us, but i'd never swim in that thing. It's disgusting.
Edit to add: I don't go up in the Arch either. That thing fucking SWAYS. When you're six hundred feet in the air in a 60 year old structure, you don't want to be swaying around. It's like you're going up in a BEER CAN anyway! I mean, literally. The elevators are ROUND. I did it when i was a kid, i never wanna do it again. No desire whatsoever.
