So, I've got the flu. Well the worst part is over with. I had to leave work last night and cant go back until I have no fever for 24 hours. Well, anyway. I get up this evening to go let Gunnar out. I walk in the kitchen and get the treat bucket out from under the pub table. I put it on top of the table and something falls to the ground and catches my attention. Its a freakin chicken snake. About 2 ft long, maybe a half inch in diameter at the biggest. I'm like #$%@ what do I do. So I run out of the house. I thought I remembered leaving my hoe around by the dog pin. So I let Gunnar out. Find the hoe. Then go in the house and kill the snake. Gunnar was completely oblivious to the snake. He was just sittin there waitin on a scooby snack. I've lived in this house the majority of my life. Basically all but 10 years or so, and too my knowledge. There have been 3 snakes found in this house. 1 King snake and 2 chicken snakes. And wouldnt you know it, I found every d*** one of them. The first one when I was 5 years old. Anyway. Just freaked me out. Now i'm gonna be lookin around the house like a straight man at a Village People concert.
Nice, man, but never leave your Ho out by the dogs. It's bad business. Always keep your Ho close by, especially if you got snakes hanging around..lol
My friend's brother lives out in the middle of no where and because of that, he has a septic system in his home. This past spring he got up during the middle of the night to take a leak and didn't bother to turn on any lights in the house; as he was taking a leak, he felt something sting him. When he turned on the light, he looked around for a wasp and didn't see anything. He then decided to look in the toilet and when he did, he saw a water moccasin his at him and then disappear back down the toilet. After crapping his pants, he checked himself and discovered that he had been bitten. The funniest part about this is when he called 911 and explained what had happened, the operator asked him twice if he had been drinking!! lol When he realized that they weren't going to help him, he told them to kiss off and drove himself to the hospital. The doctors told him that he got lucky and that he wasn't invenomated. I nearly pee'd myself when he told me the story. Moral of the story....always turn on your lights!!
Hey RB. I have a septic tank and have heard stories like that here in Mississippi. That would suck to get bit in the butt. The anti-venom isnt cheap. This medicine called CroFab costs about $7000. Its for venomous snake bites.
Nope. Very abundant down in mississippi. They get very very long. I've seen them about 6ft long before. I think they get the name from eating chicken eggs. Thanks Justin! I'm feelin okay. They just wont let me go back to work til Saturday. You have to be afebrile for 48hrs before they let you come back. I'm tired of using my sick time lol!!!!
It wasn't his butt that almost got bit. The strike was about three to four inches from his junk, he said. lol..i can just picture his face...man my stomach hurts from laughing.
so... you killed a snake, in the house, with a hoe? wasn't that messy as hell? Just bustin your balls, man.
It wasnt that bad. I actually used some APC to clean up the blood!! No I didnt eat it. I always wanted to try some snake though. I threw him on top of the shed. I figure he was just lookin for some place dry with the 2 weeks worth of rain. There isnt much out there dry. I'm so ready to wash my car.
