As for the bite, and verifying it with that curator. That's not what I am after personally. I am after evidence that C. adamanteus has an isolated population that is a primarily neurotoxic carrier. Like has been said, if the bite had enough venom to paralyze you within 5 minutes, than you got a good dose, and should definately have some amont of tissue destruction. You don't have ANY.
Must be a pretty profitable thing these "sacking contests". I mean, if they spend the money to import rattlesnakes for the ordeal. Unless Atrox has expanded it's range drastically in recent years, they don't even come close to that part of the country. Every round up I have seen, they do just that. Round up "local" rattlesnakes for these cowboy type games. They don't haul them in from the other side of the country.
Any body have a smiley icon that's digging a hole? It would work perfect right about now.
