Rattlesnake bites Central Florida man

A Central Florida man is recovering after being bitten by a poisonous rattlesnake.

[Locked and Loaded]

Another reason to always carry the Bond Arms Snake Slayer 2 shot Derringer. It will shoot 2 410 shotshells, bye bye Snake. Great Journalism, unless I am mistaken isn't "Poisonous Rattlesnake" Redundant?

all rattlesnakes are poisonous

[King Whiteee]

....and the sentinel sinks even lower

[Maxfield]

Are there non poisonous rattlesnake's? Maybe the Slantinel knows more about herpetology than we thought.

[Zoo Brat]

Rattlesnakes are venomous, not poisonous. More stellar Slantinel reporting!

This is a story? Find me "Man Bites Rattlesnake" - now that's a story.

I have read that most snake bites are alcohol related. No kidding.

You are right. There are more snakes out this year than I would expect. Especially the babies. And for the first time, I found two rattlesnake 'skins' in my yard and they don't usually make it this far. All I can say is keep your eyes open and carry a big stick or a Mossberg.

Hey Chet:

Loved your post. Aren't you glad you don't live in Austrialia. They have 'brown snakes' that attack just for the fun of it. And they keep biting until they are through, not you.

Rattlesnakes are never poisonous, always venomous.

Lucky for you the Central Florida Gun Show is at the Central Florida Fairgrounds this weekend. They had some nice derringers at the May show.
And you can get a deep fried turkey leg too.
