A friend's wife who lives down the road got bit (bitten?) on the foot by a large moccasin Friday afternoon - 2 days in the hospital and 20 viles of anti venom later she got to go home. Still hurting and bed rest for 2 more weeks.
Snake got her 3 times before she could create distance.
Hospital rumor is $10K per vile for the juice - could that be right?
zingHe could be a foot model for the walking dead.
Snake Confirmed;
Fer de lance

**** warn somebody. That snake loads up in full screen, coiled and ready to strike. Gave me chills. Kill it with fire NOW.
That is a bad boy of a snake to get bitten by.
On a side note. As bad ass as that fer de lance is, that's still a nice looking snake.
I've had a skin graph surgery but not that bad. After it all heals trying to stretch that skin out and re gain mobility in the foot is going to suck big time.
How did the snake bite do that much damage? (In the original image).
