The Little Cobra That Could: A Drama

She got in a big fight on another thread "I hate you ACLU" was saying some ugly stuff and then she asked to be banned and threatened to break a rule if she wasn't so dean banned her. the whole thread is ridonculous. Anyway that's why.

wow, I guess nobody should handle a garter anymore. Your numbness was you freaking out. You saw blood and and thought you were poisoned. If thats true then they should be listed as venomous. How many people do you see in the new that die of a garter snake or any other than I listed? Do your research. And show me some facts...

Google it, look it up. Its a fact. And no ones ever died from a garter or hognose because they very weak venom plus they have a very poor delivery system. Hognoses have rear fangs so they have to chew in order to inject venom and garters inject venom in a similar way to gila monsters were it sweeps in the wound as the animal chews. Their bites might not kill but they do have effects on people including swelling, numbness, and pain. Also it varys from person to person. This person here was chewed on by a western hognose.

The snake is only a foot long and there wan't any blood and the bite didn't hurt at all. After about 5mins I got a pins and needles feeling in my finger, and 10mins after that I lost most feeling in that finger and it stayed like that for a little over an hour. Then I slowly started getting feeling back in my finger. Like I said its incredibly weak, some people have more of a recation to it than other. I only got a numb finger, I've seen pictures of people whos entire arm swelled up.

the guy was an idiot to let him chew on him.. corals have rear fangs too and can kill...

Garters may not be that venomous..... But they are the most poisonous snake in the U.S.

Corals are actually front fanged and they are part of the cobra family. The difference between garters and hogs vs. corals is that corals are extremly venomous while the venom from a garter or a hognose can be compared to a bee's.

I`ve never heard of anyone dying from garter bite. Poisonous and venomous is the same thing.. Do you think a rattlesnake is less poisonous than a garter in the U.S?
