Hypnotizing rattlesnakes

[rtjw]

The rattlesnakes are bad in texas, but the water moccasins are worse. When they are mating they tangle up in big balls in the water. I had a funeral for a guy that while skiing hit one of these balls. he had been bitten over a 100 times.

If I recall correctly, you guys have a really nasty spider down there that has killed a lot of folks. Many years ago I was in Oz and the people I was staying with had one in the yard. The guy stirred it up a bit with a stick and it rolled back and exposed these rather large fangs. &lt;edit&gt; I think it might be the funnel web spider.

I can also remember fishing with my younger brother in a lake in Arkansas up by Ft. Smith and we had a water moccasin come off of the log he was sunning on and come over to say "hi". I was really surprised that the snake was so aggressive. I'm used to the ones that would rather not be seen.

Yes we got 2 spiders who are very nasty the RED BACK and the FENNEL SPIDER, but I think we got serum now for those 2 spiders
