Cellbine Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Cool. It's crazy how something so small can bring so much disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hope you were far far away from that thing! Worse than scorpions IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Not as bad as a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I just read up on the WDR, seems to be one of the "milder" rattlesnakes, if there is such a thing Coming from the land of kraits, vipers, and cobras, I have learned to be wary of snakes in general, not being a herpetologist by trade. I do hear horror stories all the time about the BR spider, and have seen episodes on TV. Pretty nasty stuff. Need to put them all in a pit together and let them duke it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to put them all in a pit together and let them duke it out Considering I live in the land of Black Widows, Gila Monsters, Diamondback Rattlesnakes, Mojave Rattlesnakes, Bark Scorpions, Brown Recluses, and Coral Snakes, I can relate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
