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.

I did not have the Canon on me at the time, but Erik wanted photos so I choose second best.

Sorry but the angle of the bite has nothing to do with it. You had to circle your bite in the photo to point it out. Anyhow this is not a match to see who's bite is worse. I will say that if you were indeed bitten and you didn't go to the hospital for the reason you said you didn't go which was to keep media attention away from it then you took a far greater risk then you think.
I had ZERO media attention from my bite. If you would have had to have an ambulance called because of sudden complications from the bite or even worse died from it, think about the media attention that would have drawn, and you would have been helpless to stop any of it or put any truth to it.
That was a bad decision.
That last squam is on a white background and hardly looks black, much less slate black....I'm sure there are people here that can produce pictures of what a black squam is supposed to look like. If I'd have recieved a box full of those I'd have really been upset.

You know Robin, you can pick at this as you may, but your not a judge. In fact, I think your a great person but I don't think your inserts are welcome here unless you can provide your dealings with me. Saying I don't have the animals or that I was not bitten when you know no first hand details, it just seems like you want to play detective here, yeah?
I knew I was going to be bashed on this, that's fine, but I would like to stick to the facts and not drag in anything else.

That's because the first photo I sent was not cropped and was a smaller file. I found the orginal photo, cropped the image at a larger size and sent you a photo of the circle.
I understand you had zero media attention, you were lucky. If I did not ahve to go through the expense of the idiots at the ER, so be it. Last year I got bitten by a sloth, bad bite, did I go to the ER, no, I stitched it up myself. I'll post a pic, just to show you that I only go to the hospital if I need to, I've been there enough times in my life. Luckily I have friends who are medics and give me advice if needed.
As for complications, what kind? If needed, my wife would have called. We agreed on this once I got bitten, I did not feel I had to go. I took a chance, but it was a very well researched chance I took. I looked over no less then 30 articles on Echis bites within 30 mins. From the internet, to journals, and books I had. I made an informed choice.
As for the black Squams, some of them look like that, others are pitch black, others are lighter, it's called variation. I told you of this before you sent a deposit.

Oh, like what Robin, tell me? Make it public, tell everyone. Let's bring out all the dirt now and get this over with. As for bigger then life, explain, let me know why I think I'm so great, why I think I'm bigger then life. Last I looked I'm an average guy leasing a 3 bedroom house in the outskirts of town. I have a wife, a son, two cars, three dogs, etc.

30 articles in 30 minutes is an informed choice??? I'm sorry, I said I wasn't going to say anything else about the bite but you keep making really rediculous statements regarding it.

You don't have to tell me squams are variable (and by the way you didn't mention that in any of the emails, I just looked) I know they are, it's kind of the reason they are called "Variable Bush Vipers" However that is barely black, you said you sent a picture of a slate black one, it obviously is not.
