Default Ran over my first rattlesnake.

I didn't run it over intentionally, but I sure as hell wasn't going to slow to a stop to avoid it. In any case it all worked out well. And I don't think you can get antivenom kits for the type of poison a mojave green has. From what I hear it is unique (a combination neurotoxin and necrotic agent) and extremely expensive / hard to get.

Thanks for the clarification[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] They can also make antivenom from horses, goats and dogs[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Apparently, they are more immune to bites, then we are. So, if we find you barking, nahhhing or sounding like a sheep[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] bahbah, we'll know what happened[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

ok this is what you need to do if you get bit by any snake, if you see a dog,cyote, wether the dog is a pet or a stray save your life by killing the dog and taking out the liver tie a rope TIGHT around your leg above were you were bitten and hold the dog liver on the wound it will draw out the poisen!
well doing this try to get ot a hospital anyway, the dopg liver will draw out the poisen but you never know if it is to late for it to work!

Default Ran over my first rattlesnake.

last summer i was riding behind my house and i was coming up a hill on the ol 250R i just hit 3rd gear and i was on it before i knew it. it was only a black snake but a bad childhood experience has had me freaked out by snakes no matter what they are. when i was around 10 i was in the backyard and was hitting a baseball agaisnt the backstop and i hit it over. and i went to get the ball and it rollled under a piece of tin that we had stacked when we tore down a shed. so i got on my knees and bent over and raised the tin am came eye to eye with a rattlesnake. i am not exagerating i was literally like 6 inches maybe 12. he was curled up in the strike poistion. and for some reason he turned his head to my right. and when he turned around all he seen was dust. it tunred out to be 2 snakes under that sheet of tin. boy was god with me that day. i have been freaked ever since. and have u ever had a spider get in your helmet when going down a trail? i have and it bit me right above my timple and i hate spiders bout like snakes.

ha, yeah this year so far that has been alot of rattlesnakes being killed in people yards by their house. i think its going to be a bad year. its hard to ride and look for snakes and spiders and dodge trees and the same time.
