Gaboon vipers are pretty cool snakes. Their claim to fame is having the longest fangs of any snake.

Was it a Rhino or Gaboon that was found in the wild by a resident poster (name not mentioned intentionally) in the NW Houston area? I am pretty sure it was one of the two but cannot remember which one...

I'm sure many here already have plenty of knowledge about antivenom, but this is a good video on the subject

That was a very interesting video. I was glad to see that the handler still sweats handling them.

"Texas sheriff's deputy shoots a rattlesnake while investigating a stolen
Bee County Sheriff Deputy Sgt. Rick Villarreal was following the footsteps that led away from a stolen vehicle abandoned at a cemetery in rural South Texas when he spotted a rattlesnake.
Villarreal could hear the snake's rattle and noticed it lifted into a striking stance. Villarreal then upholstered his handgun, aimed and pulled the trigger.
"One shot and the snake was down," the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post on Monday.
Included in the post was a photo of the bloody snake with Villarreal posing nearby and a message urging residents to be mindful of venomous slithering serpents.


The article isn't full of detail but shame the office didn't just back away…

Not sure what the details are (subscription required)…

I'm all for personal discretion for dispatching venomous snakes but I don't think people always account for the added risk variables when trying to go after and kill them. Especially firing a pistol at a target on the ground (ricochet potential and knowing what's beyond the target) and then picking up the "dead snake" for a photo op (envenomation risk).

Not trying to be a PETA member, I just think chasing down a venomous snake to kill it usually results in significantly more exposure to harm than just letting it be.

These are the prettiest snakes I've ever seen. But they're hard to see in the dead grass and leaves.

I'm missing the part where he "chased it down".

Says he was walking and saw it in a striking posture and rattling. I don't go after killing them, but if his heads raised and back, I'm killing him.
