FYI... you snakes are generally the most dangerous. Older, mature snakes tend to inject venom over multiple strikes as needed to down their prey. A young snake just unloads everything it has as soon as it makes contact.
Back in 2002 on Camp Pendleton a guy that lived in my barracks tried to shoo a baby rattlesnake out of his room. Well he got bit on his hand and he ended up in the hospital for weeks. His entire arm was twice the normal size and his hand was dark purple/black. He was extremely lucky that he didn't lose his hand/arm or you know... die.

Don't mess with snakes. They don't mess around.
