Snake bit while thinking about Eddie Walker

[wroughtn_harv]

Looked in that nest box and there was a small chicken snake, reached in and grabbed it wondering if that was the way Eddie Walker would do it.

OOps!

She got me twice while I adjusted the grip.

Are you sure they're not poisonous? You seem to be suffering from vertigo.

There's a lesson to be learned here... I,m not sure what it is but there's got to be a lesson someplace.[(B]

Not to be a worry wart, but non-poisonous snake bites have a high risk of infection, so treat it with iodine or some other antibiotic just to be safe.:thumbsup:

Did the poor snake die of food poisoning?:laughing:

She was fine when I let her go six acres away from the chicken pen. I highly recommend jalopenas for breakfast, lunch, and supper. It wouldn't surprise none at all to hear the snake was still down at the pond sucking in water.

I washed the bites with trough water. Horse snot is THE cure for anything. Seriously, the bite marks are like pin dots now. I suspect it has a lot to do with the fast healing my body seems to have. I think it is all about having built up antibodies against injuries. LOL

Jalapenos? Habanero's for me

Say, isn't the horse trough for bathing anyways?

We made some habanero/pineapple/mango sauce a couple of weeks ago. It will set you free with a smile on your face.

I was thinking, "how would Eddie Walker grab this snake out of the nest box?" Now I understand why he is so scared of snakes.......

 

[texasjohn]

And I thought you were considering some sort of Macho Pincho peak experience (maybe spelled that wrong?)

Glad you heal fast, are right with the world and that the chickens are all safe now

The Little Boy and The Rattlesnake

The little boy was walking down a path and he came across a rattlesnake. The rattlesnake was getting old. He asked, "Please little boy, can you take me to the top of the mountain? I hope to see the sunset one last time before I die." The little boy answered "No Mr. Rattlesnake. If I pick you up, you'll bite me and I'll die." The rattlesnake said, "No, I promise. I won't bite you. Just please take me up to the mountain." The little boy thought about it and finally picked up that rattlesnake and took it close to his chest and carried it up to the top of the mountain.

They sat there and watched the sunset together. It was so beautiful. Then after sunset the rattlesnake turned to the little boy and asked, "Can I go home now? I am tired, and I am old." The little boy picked up the rattlesnake and again took it to his chest and held it tightly and safely. He came all the way down the mountain holding the snake carefully and took it to his home to give him some food and a place to sleep. The next day the rattlesnake turned to the boy and asked, "Please little boy, will you take me back to my home now? It is time for me to leave this world, and I would like to be at my home now." The little boy felt he had been safe all this time and the snake had kept his word, so he would take it home as asked.

He carefully picked up the snake, took it close to his chest, and carried him back to the woods, to his home to die. Just before he laid the rattlesnake down, the rattlesnake turned and bit him in the chest. The little boy cried out and threw the snake upon the ground. "Mr. Snake, why did you do that? Now I will surely die!" The rattlesnake looked up at him and grinned, "You knew what I was when you picked me up."

I like the story but I don't think this was a rattlesnake.

I always heard that story with a frog instead of a little boy and a scorpion instead of a rattlesnake, same moral lesson.
