Hello again guys. My live has just been flat out crazy I’ve been hunting snakes all day long and partying all night long. It’s been a freaking blast! I can’t believe how warm it is outside it’s just crazy. I look forward to doing to swimming at the lake and maybe even catching a few cottonmouths as well. That’s always a lot of fun.
If anyone wants to hook up and go camping let me know.
Hey guys, I got out in the field today and did a little field herping. Me and the boy managed to turn up 5 snakes. One cottonmouth and 3 copperhead snakes and 2 rattlesnakes. It was a pretty awesome day.
As soon as my camera gets fixed I’ll post some of the pictures we took.
Talk soon,
Jeb
Wow I’m having a rough day. It started out with ol’ Jeb getting a flat tire backed by my nicest cottonmouth snake Mrs Julee getting out and eating one of my prized chickens! I loved that dang chicken more than just about anyone. Oh well the snake got a great meal out of the deal so I guess all well that ends well.
On top of that Jeb ran out of cypress to clean the reptiles today so I had to make a run into town and grab a couple bags which sucked because these bags were 3 bucks a piece. Being that I’m on a fixed income after the war 3 bucks is really had to come by, I need that money for cigs!
Hopefully this is the year I strike it rich with my animals and never have to worry about all the extra costs that come alone with keeping these beautiful creatures.
Hey guys! I just wanted to report that ol’ Jeb to a bad bite from Indian cobra a couple days ago so I won’t have many updates for the next couple weeks or so as I recover. My best Jeb
Cotton mouth snakes are fairly thick snakes surviving in southern United States. You may inquire how they got the name cottonmouth, well it’s for the lining of their mouths that is white like cotton and they often demonstrate this telling show to any would be threat.
These guys are known to be very meanspirited animals but attacks on mankind is really rare and frequently comes from some smashed guy trying to impress his girlfriend by
performing with a venmous snake. Folks think it’s groovy to swallow gallons of whiskey afterwhich mess around with dangerous things like the water moccasin snake, of course this is a great error that ends with someone being biten.
These creatures are in fact venomous and require a lot of due respect. Hemotoxic venom is the manner in which these cottonmouth snakes guard themselves and keep their livelihood by using this venom to target prey objects. This hemotoxic venom likewise stops blood from coagulating correctly therefore causing immense amounts of blood loss and inner bleeding. Bite victims now and then will experience blood loss from their eye balls and nostrils as a result from receiving a regretful venomous snake bite. The pain associated with venomous snake bites is ofttimes the worst experience of the victim’s lifetime that consists of a burning sensation that is equal to a gunshot wound.
There is some hope for snake bite victims being that only about half of all snake bites actually result in venom being injected into the person, these bites are called “dry bites.” All bites ought be taken exceedingly critical with the victim seeking medical attention as soon as possible.
As long as the bite victim receives attention from a physician and gets Crofab antiserum in a prompt manor, the affects of the bite will be minimized and the likihood of the victim surviving the bite as very good. The beneficial news is, most hospitals over the south land of America retain a effective supply of Crofab anti-venom on hand to treat snake bites from copperheads, rattlesnakes and of course cottonmouth snakes. Crofab antiserum was manufactured to be able to handle a snake bite from venomous reptiles here in the United States. It’s made by shooting snake venom into a pitiful sheep then extracting its blood on down the road which will hold antibodies used to make anti-venom.
An easy way to prevent a snake bite from occurring is to use extreme caution while observing cottonmouth water moccasins in the their native habitat.
It’s only just for me to point you in the correct direction for superior information on Agkistrodon piscivorus being as I got a lot of my information from this site, merely stop and say hi at this link Cottonmouth aka Water Moccasin Snake Killer images of that authoritative defense position too. Take er easy.
Check it guys. I’m very excited about this lil dude. He’s a lesser/spider combo animal.
Today was a pretty good day. I woke up to the fedex guy knocking on the door to delivery my new ball python morph. It’s a leopard/spider double gene combo animal. I plan to breed list little guy next year to some lesser combo girls as well as some pastels etc. I’m really starting to like this leopard gene. I have a feeling 2012 will be a big year for the leopard gene especially since the desert gene took such a huge hit in 2011.
I’ve also been working hard on a new webpage all focused around the water moccasin snake. Yea I’m a closet venomous lover. I just love these guys the true bad boys of the south.
Check by soon.

I’m a reptile keeper and breeder, I’ve been involved with reptiles in some fashion pretty much my whole life. My first reptile was a rough green snake at the tender age of 7 years old. I’ve since gone on to keep many different species.
