[RC] treating snake bites with electric shock - rides2far


so I did a google search on 'snake bit
electric shock treatment' - 

Very interesting. I've always wondered. :-)

Now...as to how to get rid of snakes. I agree I'll kill poisonous ones on
my property.  But you an also ask yourself. Why are they here? If you
have lots of mice...do you need a good barn cat? I have 2 huge King
Snakes that live under the hay pallets in my barn. They are more than
welcome since they're the best thing around for getting up in places a
cat can't. They also eat poisonous snakes so I like them for that too.
(there's a $1000 fine for killing King Snakes in GA.) I see lots of King
Snakes around here but have never seen a Copperhead on my property.
Rattle Snakes are fairly rare. I've only run across 3 ever. 

Kaboot is the only horse I've ever had who seemed to know what a snake
was and is terrified of them. Have no idea if he had any early
experiences or a smart mama (seems unlikely). Yesterday he was wanting to
tear up his favorite hill climb and he suddenly hit the brakes and
snorted at the underbrush. I stared hard and never saw anything, but he
climbed the bank to the left, went well around it and proceeded on.
