If the purpose is to milk the snake’s venom for an antivenom, boyyyyyyy do I tip my hat to that man
There was a bounty on Mississauga Swamp Rattlers where I grew up, just for that reason.
What’s even more nightmarish, is the video of the copperhead head that was whacked from its body and bit itself with a full load of venom. People have also been bit by a severed head and required the antivenom.
