Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

yes, i was paralized for 3 days i wasent on a venalitor at all. i just couldent walk the curator of reptiles @ the philla zoo's name is Brint Spencer but it's hard to reach him unless you have his # i do but i cant post it. just call the philla zoo and ask for Brint and he will tell you anything you want to know about my bites.. but maybe he wont ill leave a message for him saying you might get a call about my envenomations and it's ok to tell them.

I don't support round-ups, but I was curious as to where you found a western diamondback sacking contest in Pennsylvania. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. Sorry about your wreck man,
James

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.

i dont support round-up's eigher. here in pa they had a northern copperhead roung up. the western's were from the ppl that were doing to event. i didnt do the round up, but i did the atrox sacking contest. i had to get in a pit 8' x 8' and sack 5 atrox's in the fastest time. of cource we had to wear jeans and snake bite proof boot's "which only help a little." the snakes were pretty calm most likely they were really stressed. i sacked all 5 WDB's in 46.2 seconds. it was a cool experience, but i do not like stressing the snake's out. and i was alout more gentle with them than all 15 other handlers. since we had to pin their head and 3-point hold them on the neck which can cause some serious injury's if you dont do it right. but i did it, and no 1 got bit which i thought some ppl were, because the way they were doing it and holding them. i might do it this year again, but im still not sure. but i do want the round-up's banned in pa. they say ppl must relece them where they found them. well we all know that didnt happen. and thats why their's not that many coppers in lancaster county pa... thanks for reading..

Rick - many of the roundups use "imported" rattlers (that is to say, imported from other areas). a far cry from the initial purpose of the events, don't you think?
Vinny - The answer is pretty simple. If you don't agree with them, DON"T SUPPORT THEM. That means don't go, don't participate...just don't.

Vinny - Are you related to John Kerry?
If the sacking contest is part of the round-up event then by attending you are supporting the round-up.
