As most here know I hate, I mean HATE snakes. First tale was the magic snake that turned its self into a stick just to make me look like a fool infront of a customer. Then we have a few tales of them hiding in sago palms just waiting, that or they are scouts for bigger snakes, either way I dont like it.
Well today I was on a job site( cant work leg is in a splint) when I was moving some weeds/brush/grass out the way when I feel this sudden pain in my right leg. I thought one of the mowers threw a base ball out the discharge it hurt so bad. I look down and nothing. then I look at my leg and there are 2 holes in it about a inch apart trickling blood. I have to tell yall my heart almost stopped i was so scared. So first thing I do is try to find the slimy SOB that did this. No luck. Well that and I bet i looked like a crack head looking for a dropped rock trying to find it. Anyhow never did see it. I hobble my behind up to the truck and call 911. 20 min later a ambulance showed up.. Well in that 20 min I made a few calls, and used my own knowledge on the situation . the swelling had stopped, there was no burning in my leg, and no redness. I call a buddy who happens to be a snake expert ( no I will no go to his house) and he tells me that most likely it was a defensive bite. Kind of like the snake was saying "your to close, this will back you up or next time its gonna be bad". EMS got there they looked at it cleaned it up and i refused transport. So I have been keeping a eye on it, swelling is down and no pain just a slight bruise. But let me tell ya I was scared.. Anyhow here is a pic of my leg 10 min after it happened
