I am the Snake guy for my area as well as any other thing you need caught and removed. The title is in reference to just about every time I show up for a snake call. "You don't have a snake stick" they say I simply reply "Got my God Issued ones" as I show them my hands. I have been using my hands to catch things since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Was suspended in the 1st grade for bringing a snake for show and tell, without the teacher knowing of course. For FREE me and my wife remove nuisance animals and relocate them. The Crotalus oreganus is our most common animal... the Northern Pacific Rattlesnake. As you see in the pics we encounter all kinds of things, makes for good "spur of the moment" excitement
So the answer is YES I have been bit by a rattlesnake, and YES I did receive antivenin. This means I have a 50 50 chance of having an allergic reaction to the antivenin and die. Antivenin is a 1 time deal really, the risk on second or third antivenin injections is very high. For this reason my wife HATES that I do this. With great power comes great responsibility...... Spiderman remember, uncle Ben. With that in mind any help I can give to my community I will do.
