Imaginate That Crew
A King Snake, a Cottonmouth and a Rattlesnake
Awhile back….
There was a rattlesnake on the sidewalk. It wasn’t an adult yet but it had a small rattle (and Rex killed it, thankfully)! We were in the house and heard Rex barking and went out side and saw Rex barking at a rattlesnake. It went away and then later on Rex was barking under the house and came out with the snake in his mouth. It was dead. We are guessing he killed it by picking it up right in the middle and swinging it around and could have hit its head on the wooden posts under the house. I was scared because baby snakes are more dangerous because they can’t control their poison and they will put it all in you when they bite.
Now the king snake…
Rachel saw two snakes. She didn’t know what kind they were so she told everyone and then we got the hoe and we all went down the side walk where the snakes were. Then we noticed that the king snake was killing a cottonmouth so we didn’t kill the king snake. BYE AND GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!! ~!*Mary*!~

King snake eating Cottonmouth (Cottonmouth is turning blue from being suffocated)
King snake eating Cottonmouth (They are in a big knot)
Wow, that is really cool!
I once saw a Video of a Rattlesnake in a chicken coop that was visualized by a King Snake and it was pretty impressive how VERY aggressive the King Snake suddenly became and the Rattlesnake immediately tried to leave the premises but that King Snake was all over it and there was absolutely no contest. Anyway, that Video was what I was looking for when I stumbled onto this site. Additionally, I was a Paramedic in L.A. and part of the deal was continuing education on a regular basis (CE) and a well known Venomologist Physician & Surgeon taught a class on the treatment of snake bites and HE was accidentally bitten on the hand while hiking and he lost his thumb, index, and middle finger on his dominant hand—obviously it necessitated a career change and it was a pretty sad story because he was a nice guy to boot. Avoid venomous snake bites is probably the message here.
