A freind of mine has had both her dogs bitten by water moccasins in the past week. One of the dogs was bitten on the chest, the other just under her chin. Both dogs are fine, but my friend is wanting to know some information on the snakes so maybe it can help her and her hsuband catch the varmits.

One time Radar was bitten by a dog and they thought he might have rabies, so they started giving him the shots while they tried to catch the dog and he got really sick and then they caught the dog and it didn't have rabies but I bet they had to kill the dog to find out.  THAT's who I am.  And I like pigeons, too. :)

Is this it?\n\nhttp://www.southalley.com/dsnakes/scarlet1.JPG\n\nIt's a Florida Scarlet snake and it is nonvenomous.

Sounds to me like a Brown Recluse Spider bite. Not something to play around with. Usually the skin will rot away around the bite. Keep an eye on it and if you are really concerned check back with your doctor. keep in mind if you didn't see what bit you then it may not have been a spider at all. Perhaps a snake especially with 2 marks. \n\nGood luck!!

A Furbie, actually three of them, from my Uncle.  I was 19 when he gave them to me.  I was like WTF are THOSE things?  They were cute until he put the batteries in them.  After a half an hour they were no longer cute but annoying and I was ready to kill them.  Eventually they all had 'accidents' including the one that caught fire.  It really wasn't on purpose that they were bad or wrong, my Uncle hasn't ever seen me as 'grown up' and I get some weird stuff from him all the time.

They can have salmonella. My husband's brother caught it when he was little from a box turtle and almost died.\n\nWash your hands with soap and warm water thoroughly.\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/healthypets/animals/reptiles.htm\nhttp://www.idsociety.org/Template.cfm?Section=Home&CONTENTID=13133&TEMPLATE=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm\nhttp://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=17&cat=1796&articleid=623\n\nI do understand and support you not wanting your daughter to be afraid of the cool stuff in the yard or the outdoors in general. As a former tomboy (heck, what do I mean "former"), I had much joy catching and playing with frogs, bees, praying mantises, etc. Maybe you can carry some of that hand sanitizer (like Purell) in your jean's pocket? I keep some in my purse at all times. You just never know!

trust me, im a female who has been bitten by a rattlesnake,  the snake will more often kill you for no reason (i was lucky not to die) then a woman will,,, in fact most women wont kill you, even for a good reason !!

Hi. You could ask if a boa constrictor is on their list of animals because you were thinking of getting one. Or a bird eating snake. You should probably base your complaint on the private nuisance aspect of the noise. : http://www.lectlaw.com/def2/n025.htm

Yeah I had a pet rat and i picked it up and it got scared, so it bit me. They are not that bad, they are red for about maybe a day and they are about 1/2 an inch apart, If you got bit by a mouse or a rat that was just in your house, not a pet, then you should probably go see a doctor. But unless it had a disease or somethin you should be okay.

I actually personally work with eastern gray kangaroos at my local zoo, along with bennett's wallabies. they are very nice (all the ones i work with are females), of course these have been raised and have been comfortable around human contact their entire lives. they are very curious, however if they don't like something, they will let you know by growling at you, standing up on their back legs, and sometimes their tail. i have only been kicked once, but it was my fault, i startled her. if you have any more questions about roos, i would be more than happy to help ya out the best i can. i could talk about them for days! :)

It's possible , I'm hoping those blood thirsty creatures have had their fill of humans for a while . I have heard that Jeff has been extra careful and hasn't even been in the tub to bathe since the previous attack !

put up a sign that says no tresspassing and or one that says beware of dogs...and then it is at their own risk because if they get bit,it is on them you forwarned them and that is all you should have to do. I might call the local SPCA or police station and ask this question to see what type of feedback that you get. Good Luck!!

VERY rarely reticulated pythons have been known to attack and eat people in their native environment.... But it is a VERY rare occurance.\n\nOther than that, yes.  Snakes only bite when threatened.  Their first line of defense is their camoflauge, then they will try to escape.  If they are cornered many will hiss, puff up, hood, rattle etc... to try to scare you away.  They generally only bite as a last resort or if restrained/stepped on.  Many venomous species can even give "dry bites" where no venom is injected.

Boas and other constrictor snakes are opportunistic hunters which will target a prey item that may fit their need for nutrition.  They are generalistic in nature, meaning that their diet does not rely upon a specific type or species.  This allows them to target any unsuspecting creature that may live in the general vicinity.\n\nThese snakes are voracious swallowers when they eat.  These snakes can expand their jaws through their intramandibular joint, allowing their mouths to open much wider than expected.  However, once one of these snakes has eaten its prey, it will not need to feed again for months.  \n\nMost full grown boas and pythons are not usual predatory targets.  It would be possible for a strong predator to attack a boa during consumption of a prey item, but a double meal may not in the best interest of the outside party.

just get a habitrail and keep it as a pet.\nYou can nurse it back to health. It probably wont be able to survive long outside with the injuries it has sustained.\nI caught one once and kept it as a pet it was pretty cool.

Here is a very good site, hope this helps.\nhttp://www.coopsjokes.com/amz/amzrept.htm\nHere are some other interesting facts, I got them from watching the Discovery Channel.\n-The basilisk (or Jesus Christ) lizard has the ability to walk on water.\n-Recently a two headed albino snake was put up for sale.  Albino alligators are also known to exist.\n-Cottonmouth rattlesnakes were given their name because the insides of their mouths are white.\n-Snakes can dislocate their jaws to swallow prey whole.  I know that some species of snake can consume deer whole.

Well, you are right about snakes and Hawaii.  They are not allowed in, but not because they would be a danger to livestock, pets, small children.  They would harm the ecosystem.  Like you said, they would have no natural predators.  Nothing to keep their numbers in check.  Lot of natural wildlife in Hawaii that is not too used to dealing with snakes.  The snakes would enter the system and start to eat and reproduce.  It would put a strain on the ecosystem and could conceivably cause extinctions in the indiginous Hawaiin species.\n\nThat being said, Hawaii does have some natural snakes though.  Rare, but there are some.\n\nhttp://www.explorebiodiversity.com/Hawaii/BiodiversityForgotten/Wildlife/Reptiles/Snakes.htm
