not sure is me , but to be VERY sure wear snake boots , a bud just got him a nice copperhead bite the other day , thinking they was hibernating and not wearing his snake boots , he will survive the bite , but not so sure about surviving the cost of the emergency room and doctors visits .....
he also opted for no antivenom shots for 2 reasons , one they might kill you faster than the bite and at 18,000 a pop for one , well that might give you a cardiac arrest too ....
