by watching venom e.r. on tv i learned alot of interesting things about rattle snakes, they also tell evryone on that show that the best thing to do if you are bitten by one is to seek immediate medical attention......i like the episode with the little girl that had the doctors stumped, turned out she told everyone she was bitten by a snake but in reality she was only scratched when she fell down, it looked like a bite but wasn't......they couldn't figure out why she wasn't having any symptoms of a bite.......
