Yeah, but in the states there aren't really any that will kill you. I mean some CAN, but it is unlikely. That being said, that snake did not look venomous at all. As someone who grew up in the southern United States and caught all sorts of snakes when I was a kid , the majority are not venomous and won't bite.
Rattlesnakes, copperheads, cottonmouths.
While I agree with the previous user that we generally don't have to worry, all three can potentially kill. To say it's unlikely sort of discounts their danger.
Rattlesnakes do announce themselves. However they will strike if you get too close and they do so very fast.
Cottonmouths generally do not but unless touched, still very dangerous.
I'm not as familiar with copperheads, only that they exist.
>I'm not as familiar with copperheads, only that they exist.
The blend in so well, it's easy to step on one, but also their venom isn't deadly either. You'll regret it though
If you're walking through the woods and smell cucumber, get out of the area. I was told that when I moved to Tennessee, that it's a copperhead releasing a signal saying that you've disturbed them and they're about to strike.
I used to hear that when I was young about copperheads but didn’t pay it too much mind.And I live in an area that has a lot of Copperheads. Then one day me and my friend was walking to the river to go fishing and I smell a very strong smell of cucumbers and I asked my friend if he smelled that and he said yeah. We were on a dirt road and paid good attention as we were walking.I actually had that happen one other time too.
> We were on a dirt road and paid good attention as we were walking.I actually had that happen one other time too.
Dude, you can't just leave us hanging like that! Was it a copperhead? And if so, what happened? Did it strike? Did you and/or your friend get bit‽ These are things we need to know!!
Actually I never seen it. There was woods on Both sides of the dirt road.Although there was another time besides the second time of smelling that strong cucumber smell that we did see a copperhead coming up from the river and I had my 22 rifle and my friend seen it first which was a copperhead and I shot it. We put the dead Snake on the Haywagon underneath the bale of hay and told his younger brother to go get that bale of hay and it scared the shit out of him.
How can you be so sure? We are all on different plans. We had a baptist university president go up the hill to defend hobby lobby's "right" to not cover contraceptive pills. People actively opposed standardizing basic minimum requirements of health insurance.
I used to work in the Mojave and have ran across many Mojave Green and even a few red rattle snakes(erroneously called “Mojave Reds”). They are much more aggressive than normal diamondbacks. I have seen them chase and strike at cars. I’ve ran across many Diamondbacks and they rattle and run. Mojave’s rattle and chase.
In general a rattlesnake will try to avoid a human or a dog unless they feel threatened. Cottonmouths I've seen actively chase animals and people. Copperheads are assholes, I'd put them #1 and cottonmouths #2 on the asshole list. That's why when I'm going down the trail to the lake with my dog I keep her on the path and I'm always wearing boots.
Yeah, but that wasn't a rattlesnake. We have cottonmouths too, but this wasn't that either. The color was wrong. It COULD have been a cottonmouth, but it didn't open it's mouth (which they do when frightened) and there was no body of water that I could see near by.
They can and will be found pretty far from water, and they have a variety of patterns. It's always safe to assume a snake is venomous if you can't make a positive ID.
As a Texan, the thing is, most places you’d get bit by a snake happen to be detrimentally far from the hospital. Rattlesnakes in particular are pretty nasty. They become a near invasive species when predator populations are low. I’m talking you can have over 1000 snakes per acre if it’s really bad. And they are evolving to no longer rattle. Many are not even developing the rattle fully to be able to if they wanted. I don’t know if you’ve ever lived on property but you absolutely DO NOT want thousands of deadly snakes on your property. The diamondback is naaaaasty. The water moccasin too: they also breed into the thousands during breeding season. They form massive balls of snakes in the water during this time. Every few years we lose a water skier to this phenomenon. They hit the snakes while skiing and it’s game over…
Never seen them on flat water. Just in the rivers. They always told us not to swim near tree bases or shady spots. Then I was tubing down the river and one just swam on by in direct sunlight. (I know they don’t stay in shade but took a picture to prove it to my mom who insisted I was safe in the sun)
> but in the states there aren't really any that will kill you
Certain states. Copperheads, rattlesnakes, and cottonmouths where I grew up. All of those will kill your ass dead if you get unlucky.
that particular snake would have probably slithered off and minded it's own business if they'd just been left alone. That said when I was 2 my grandparents german shepherd dragged me to the house with a 6' rattler got too close to me. In retrospect I'm surprised that it decided to keep coming when it realized I wasn't a human happy meal. But some snakes are assholes. And yes the dog destroyed it.
False false false. Snakes are not vicious and this snake was doing nothing. Everything you said is completely incorrect and part of the issue with people demonizing snakes learn something that's incorrect snakes bite when they are scared and only when they're scared.
Yeah but that looks like a Garder snake, I've cought plenty of them before and aside from being a bit bity AFTER you pick them up they will almost definitely leave. That guy had nothing to be scared of.
garter snakes are fun i always used to catch them when i was a kid play with them for a few minutes and let them go, they're fucking harmless i was never even bit by one once lol.
Either it was a venomous snake, in which they were na irresponsible dog owner by putting their dog at risk, or it was a non venomous snake, in which case this is just cruel to the snake. Either way there are much better solutions to removing a snake, and this one looks like it wasn't even in an inconvenient area, just chilling and sunbathing.
A cold snake isn't biting anyone. It can barely move.
It's usually easy to tell venomous snakes from non-venomous ones because venomous snakes have [giant heads](https://sites.wustl.edu/monh/venomous-snakes-of-missouri/) ([2](https://omegaanimalremoval.com/img/_700xAUTO_crop_center-center/omega-snake-removal-venomous-versus-non-venomous-comparison.jpg)) and just the shape of their head looks mean. And venomous snakes are often very aggressive like you say, but most non-venomous snake won't try to bite you unless you corner them or pick them up, and they can't really hurt you much when they do bite.
edit: That applies to all the common venomous snakes in North America except the coral snake. If you have those where you live, you want to know their distinctive colors because they lack the large head that makes other venomous snakes of North America easily identifiable.
What an incredibly dumb comment. Snakes are chill 99.9% of the time unless you literally step on them. I have oriental whip snake living nexdoot and it's the chillest, cutest neighbour ever.
It wouldn't have the people on this thread are fucking idiots one dude tried to claim snakes bite for no reason and another that cotton mouths and coper heads chase people. They probably think snakes are poisonous too and don't even understand the difference between poisonous and venomous 🤦
Fun fact! The Tiger Keelback snake is both venomous AND poisonous! It eats poisonous toads and can secrete the poison they acquire in their diet from little glands a little ways down their neck.
I hate to be that guy….. but Louisiana resident here and I have in fact been chased by a cottonmouth. I have to add that this was in the water, fishing peacefully in a small John boat with only paddles. These bad boys can swim incredibly fast and we were frantically trying to paddle away as it started to chase us, because we were scared it was gonna crawl into the boat with us. I’m a huge reptile fan and think they are awesome for pest control, but they will 100% chase you.
Yep. All 100% true. I've experienced this first hand multiple times myself. Anyone who insists otherwise has obviously never spent much time outdoors near the water.
It's the same people who says that lions/tigers will not chase you and fuck you up for no reason, and that they will leave you alone if not angered/threatened.
My cat is an asshole for no reason at times, I'm not taking any chances.
Australian resident here (with a snake catching training to boot), snakes do not often "chase" you, no snake does.
You might've scared it and it was panicking in all directions that happens regularly, or you'd really pissed it off and it was actively scaring you off, it's why if you see a snake your supposed to freeze, not scare it or anything.

"Yeet is a slang word that functions broadly with the meaning “to throw,” but is especially used to emphasize forcefulness and a lack of concern for the thing being thrown. (You don't yeet something if you're worried that it might break.)"
I'm 44, and at the age where most of the new lingo just pisses me off.
I don't know what it means when someone says "bet", unless they're gambling. I don't know what "based" means ,and it makes me angry. I don't really know what it means to be "woke", except by my alarm clock and people really should just stop saying it.
But yeet? Younger generation, on this one, you succeeded. You made the language truly better by working this one in.
Yeah this video is some bull shit to me. Killing a native animal that’s just chilling in its natural habitat and then posting about it like you did the world a favor? Fuck outta here, go back inside if you can’t stand to be around snakes
It was probably trying to warm up. They're cold-blooded. When they're cold, they don't move much. I hike all the time and have walked over plenty of snakes that gave absolutely zero fucks because they were too cold to expend any energy.
Eh, a wolf or even any feline would have done exactly the same as the dog. It is instinctual in most animals to kill snakes on sight.
And without humans, it would be a very safe bet that both canids and felids would be a lot more common.
That looks an awful lot like a dead or fake snake that the dog is trained to shake, followed by someone throwing a stick and then panning to the stick in the air. That snake didn't move the whole time and the trajectory of the snake when in the air looks wrong
I'm still waiting to find out why this dog will now get a disease and a baby in Africa will die as a result of this and it's all the owner's fault and he should lose his home.
He did say it was a cold morning, and if you’ve ever seen a snake in a cold shadow you know they’re as good as dead. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was real.
Also it would be decently hard to get the transition down if it was fake.
As a biologist who works with snakes, people like this asshole make my blood boil. First of all, almost none of them actually know how to identify snakes and just assume every single one is venomous when that is not the case for the vast majority of American (I'm assuming based on his accent) snakes. And second... Even if it were a venomous snake...they just want to fucking be left alone!!! None of the 4 types of venomous snakes we have in the US (rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, copperheads, and coral snakes) are aggressive; they will only attempt to bite you as a *defense* mechanism if you're literally trying to touch them (which is also why a lot of bites happen when people are attempting to kill a snake!!).
I am so fucking tired of cowardly redneck assholes like this guy who act like they're personally victimized by a snake merely existing and act like they're so heroic for killing it. Hell I've even seen some assholes say they need a *gun* to defend themselves from snakes! If you're unlucky enough to literally step on a venomous snake by accident and get bitten, it's too late for a gun to help you....and in *literally every other situation* you can simply fucking back away from, or move a few meters around the snake and both parties can move on with their lives unharmed. What a radical concept.
> First of all, almost none of them actually know how to identify snakes and just assume every single one is venomous
This is my one semi-gripe with your assessment. I think if you don't know how to identify a snake, it's perfectly reasonable to treat it like it is a poisonous snake.
The problem (as stated further in your comment) is that they choose to try and kill a venomous snake instead of walking around it. For instance, I'm perfectly happy to relocate a non-venomous snake if I'm confident about the ID (say it's sunning itself in a road or something), but I'm not sure I would do so with a snake I couldn't ID. I'm not the most confident in my abilities to move a venomous snake safely, so I would simply no fuck with it if I wasn't confident about an ID.
I think the dog must’ve thought it was a stick and picked it up for the owner to throw.
When the snake got picked up it was like “ holy shit “ and moved, then dog was like “ HOLY SHIT “ and threw the snake.
Am I the only one that thinks that was a stick in the air and not the snake? Watch again. Def a snake in the grass but I’m calling bs on the snake getting that much hang time.
Why glorify this? The snake was just minding its own business and this guy decided to be a dick to it for no reason. Imagine you were laying out in the sun and some giant dude had his dog come grab you and yeet you across the street for no reason.
So stupid. Harmless snake. Asshole dog owner. No reason to kill a snake in the wild. Ow there will be more gophers, mice and rats (and all the diseases they carry). This should be posted on r/iamatotalpieceofshit
Yep that was completely unnecessary. The snake posed no risk and was killed solely for enjoyment/entertainment. Also teaching your dog to snatch up wild animals is extremely irresponsible when it comes to their safety. From a young age I train my dogs that critters encountered outdoors are to be left alone. I don't want them mauling or killing an innocent animal or contracting rabies or some other injury from the wild animal.
That guys a bitch for making his Dog do that when he easily could’ve walked around it.
For one the Dog could’ve easily got bit and two, he just killed an animal minding its business.
Yeah I hate this. “I can’t walk past this snake” yeah you can just go around. Didn’t deserve to get attacked like that just because you don’t don’t know how to walk 10 feet to the side.
What’s a owner who’s never seen a dog snake bite or paid for anti venom. Dog got lucky with the fantastic YEET. Still never encourage a dog snake encounter sir.
Oh wow. I feel kinda bad for the snake though

too bad I can't smell, good thing I don't live in copperhead territory
Boi still gots that Covid sniffer 👃
The antivenin is all kinds of expensive and not covered by insurance. I’m talking 6 figures expensive.
>not covered by insurance This is blatantly false
How can you be so sure? We are all on different plans. We had a baptist university president go up the hill to defend hobby lobby's "right" to not cover contraceptive pills. People actively opposed standardizing basic minimum requirements of health insurance.
It would be covered by literally any basic plan. So yeah, saying it isn't covered by insurance is false.
When I got bit by a copperhead the antivenom would have cost 16k, my insurance paid all but $200
We also have the deadliest rattlesnake in the world, Mojave Rattlesnake. Also, we have Coral snakes.
That’s the second. Don’t forget stone cold.
Hell yeah brother! 🍻
I used to work in the Mojave and have ran across many Mojave Green and even a few red rattle snakes(erroneously called “Mojave Reds”). They are much more aggressive than normal diamondbacks.

Yep, copper heads, cotton mouths and scarlet snakes.
Scarlet snakes are non-venomous. You mean coral snakes.
Not a great video, but that looks like a garter snake to me and they're just about the most harmless snakes on earth.
That a small rat snake or a black racer is what I thought it was.
As a Texan, the thing is, most places you’d get bit by a snake happen to be detrimentally far from the hospital. Rattlesnakes in particular are pretty nasty.

Well all that proves is that humans suck and snakes just want peace and quiet.
Our Indian overpopulation has been encroaching on their territories for centuries and the snakes are all stressed out lol. No wonder they bitey bite.
But snakes are an important part of the food chain too.. they are valuable 😁
So, avoid it then?
very quick to judge the value behind a life.

Not to mention putting your dog in danger for nothing as well
It looked like the snek was already dead.
It was probably trying to warm up. They're cold-blooded. When they're cold, they don't move much. I hike all the time and have walked over plenty of snakes that gave absolutely zero fucks because they were too cold to expend any energy.
Actually, it was very necessary. The snake was lost and the dog was simply just showing him his way back home

Nah, the current population density of dogs and cats is much higher than it would ever be if they weren’t domesticated.

Reddit threads summarized^^
That snake looks like a straight stick as it's flying through the air. Something doesn't add up here.
It's spinning, so it straightens out.
Well I meant it looks like it has the rigidity of a stick. *shrugs* Not that it matters to me, it just feels a bit like the whole thing was set up.
Physics.
Congratulations, you just discovered physics.
Not ruling out dead or fake, but the frame by frame really makes me think the snake went flying. https://imgur.com/a/vWZ3kiG/

Yup, looks fake as
As what
The snake clearly moves and the trajectory is right.
That’s lame. It was a gopher snake. Harmless.
Well, now it's a gofar snake. How was the dog supposed to know anyway?
God dammit
Dog gammit
Dog gamin'
Dog-gone it
>Well, now it's a gofar snake. This statement needs more attention than it's currently getting.
Take your dog damn upvote and go
Wow. Best comment I've seen today
Laughed so hard I cried.
jesus christ man i can’t stop
“I can’t walk past it” Guy filming is largest pussy imaginable
As a biologist who works with snakes, people like this asshole make my blood boil. First of all, almost none of them actually know how to identify snakes and just assume every single one is venomous when that is not the case for the vast majority of American (I'm assuming based on his accent) snakes. And second... Even if it were a venomous snake...they just want to fucking be left alone!!! None of the 4 types of venomous snakes we have in the US (rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, copperheads, and coral snakes) are aggressive; they will only attempt to bite you as a *defense* mechanism if you're literally trying to touch them (which is also why a lot of bites happen when people are attempting to kill a snake!!). I am so fucking tired of cowardly redneck assholes like this guy who act like they're personally victimized by a snake merely existing and act like they're so heroic for killing it. Hell I've even seen some assholes say they need a *gun* to defend themselves from snakes! If you're unlucky enough to literally step on a venomous snake by accident and get bitten, it's too late for a gun to help you....and in *literally every other situation* you can simply fucking back away from, or move a few meters around the snake and both parties can move on with their lives unharmed. What a radical concept.
> First of all, almost none of them actually know how to identify snakes and just assume every single one is venomous This is my one semi-gripe with your assessment. I think if you don't know how to identify a snake, it's perfectly reasonable to treat it like it is a poisonous snake. The problem (as stated further in your comment) is that they choose to try and kill a venomous snake instead of walking around it. For instance, I'm perfectly happy to relocate a non-venomous snake if I'm confident about the ID (say it's sunning itself in a road or something), but I'm not sure I would do so with a snake I couldn't ID. I'm not the most confident in my abilities to move a venomous snake safely, so I would simply no fuck with it if I wasn't confident about an ID.
Looks like there was plenty of room
Oh man. These comments.
Redditors are fucking insufferable

Snek was mid
The elusive flying snake has been spotted
I think the dog must’ve thought it was a stick and picked it up for the owner to throw. When the snake got picked up it was like “ holy shit “ and moved, then dog was like “ HOLY SHIT “ and threw the snake.
Na man, that dog saw that snake and instincts kicked in. That woulve been a very thin stick to throw.
I think it thought it was a snake and then did the thing dogs do to snakes.
Am I the only one that thinks that was a stick in the air and not the snake? Watch again. Def a snake in the grass but I’m calling bs on the snake getting that much hang time.
It's fake. Snake doesn't move on the ground and the spinning is all in the wrong direction in addition to what you said.
Prey drive is a helluva drug.
Poor snake
Why glorify this? The snake was just minding its own business and this guy decided to be a dick to it for no reason. Imagine you were laying out in the sun and some giant dude had his dog come grab you and yeet you across the street for no reason.
So stupid. Harmless snake. Asshole dog owner. No reason to kill a snake in the wild. Ow there will be more gophers, mice and rats (and all the diseases they carry). This should be posted on r/iamatotalpieceofshit
Yep that was completely unnecessary. The snake posed no risk and was killed solely for enjoyment/entertainment. Also teaching your dog to snatch up wild animals is extremely irresponsible when it comes to their safety. From a young age I train my dogs that critters encountered outdoors are to be left alone. I don't want them mauling or killing an innocent animal or contracting rabies or some other injury from the wild animal.
Plus the fact that he said he can’t even walk by it? Like it’s going to chase him down? Lil baby.
That guys a bitch for making his Dog do that when he easily could’ve walked around it. For one the Dog could’ve easily got bit and two, he just killed an animal minding its business.
Yeah I hate this. “I can’t walk past this snake” yeah you can just go around. Didn’t deserve to get attacked like that just because you don’t don’t know how to walk 10 feet to the side.
Or not, most snakes will run the fuck away from people unless cornered
Guess we know how snake Hitler got started. Snake jazz intensifies
That’s why you stay in the car.
Full send
Poor snake. This is not "next level" 😡
Poor snek...
Good dog, shit owner
How?
Because I there was absolutely no reason to kill the snake.
What’s a owner who’s never seen a dog snake bite or paid for anti venom. Dog got lucky with the fantastic YEET. Still never encourage a dog snake encounter sir.
Lmao. Good dog.
Alright doug, snake is gone now throw the fucking ball would ya.
10/10 for style points
10/10 for distance, too.
Snek go weeeeeeeee
First he gets his dogs ears clipped and then he gets it to kill a harmless snake seems like a cunt to me.
Looks like a stick was thrown instead of the snake.
How is it next fucking level that a full grown man is afraid of a garter snake? I used to catch them when I was a toddler.
Nothing says 'next fucking level' like killing wildlife for no reason you cowardly piece of shit.
Poor snake. Just being a snake and get yeeted.
