This guy's been hanging around the yard for a while now. He finally stayed still long enough to get some pics:
And this for a change of pace. Box turtles always seem to be active after a good rain:

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Attention to detail.
That's why I love this board.
They're brand new blades. I just replaced them this Spring. I knew I should have sharpened them before installing.one MEEN Ag said:

Why type of snake?
Looks like a black racer.

Just giving you a hard time. There a reason my yard isn't posted.
Bull snake at the golf course
Now that's a snake!
Unfortunately I didn't get a photo or kill it for that matter, but I got hit in the top of the foot by an approximately 12 inch copperhead last night.
Pretty damn painful experience.

Pretty decent swelling... Did you seek medical treatment?

I did. In ER for 12 hours. They did all the marking. Going back in the morning for a 24 hour check. Swelling moved up from ankle to mid calf over the last 12 hours but not to much.
Whats all that writing and drawing about?
They tracked the swelling every 30 minutes for 12 hours. Marked increase and time over that period.
Sorry to hear that, but glad you're okay. Was it pretty painful?
Very cool!
Their climbing abilities are amazing. I saw one climb a vertical brick wall to get to a wren's nest.

Very. I appreciated the morphine immensely.
Really sorry to hear that but am glad it wasn't worse. Thanks for sharing and I apologize if my question seemed insensitive.

Sorry that happened. Is there a good story when you feel like it?

No problem and not at all.

Nothing good. I replaced a sink and was dumping a bucket of water into a flower bed. The bed was one step into the grass and that's all it took.

Yours looks a lot worse than my nephew's bite.
Did they give you any treatment (other than cool foot artwork and observation?)betadawg1 said:CowtownAg06 said:

never mind
Lucky you didnt walk out of there with a bill for crofab. Some people will argue that once the swelling and bruising crosses a major joint you call it a moderate envenomation which would indicate therapy. Not saying that I would or would not have given it, there is way more to the decision than some pictures online, I'm just noting that I've definitely seen crofab given for bites that look like that. Scheduled tylenol and plenty of water for the next few days

I was kind of expecting that but the doctor said unless the swelling spread all the way to the groin I didn't need it, and maybe not even then.
Followed up with doctor this morning (36 hours post bite). Swelling has spread to mid calf and could expect some more. Anywhere there is swelling it's painful to the touch but improving. Discoloration is also improving.
A friend got tagged by a rattlesnake (being stupid). He was picking reptile mites off of the snake. He felt sorry for it. He handled venomous snakes regularly (had some copperheads and rattlesnakes at home). A fang got loose and.... 10+ vials of crofab later....quite a high bill.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.
