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.

Here's a movie I started watching about snakes.
It's called Copperhead, and it takes place in the 19th century and is clearly meant to be some sort of western about deadly snake attacks. Now from what I've read and heard about those kinds of snakes that can kill a person on a good day for them, they're not the most deadly of the venomous snakes in the United States. I wonder why they didn't go with cotton mouth water moccasins as a title and make the movie about those kinds of snakes. Coral snakes are deadlier, and so are rattlesnakes by far. Of the ones in the United States, I'd rather get bit by a coral snake if that's my way to go because they cause the most painless deaths of the ones in America. I guess down here in Florida, there are also cobras; and that's an invasive species; but the reason we have them is sorta the same reason we have Burmese pythons. People had several of them several decades ago, and too many of them managed to get loose; and if there's one creature that can get close to a cobra without having to worry about trying to kill it, it's a cobra of the opposite sex, so naturally they procreate in the wild.
Take care and God bless

How can you have a "Western" about copperheads? (they're not in the West, lol)
You're right, they'll put you in the hospital but you'd really have to work at dying from their bite. Silly movies... And cobras DO have to worry, they're ophiophagus, both in name and literally "snake eaters"....what they have to get is lucky.

But cobras still make love, or else there'd be no more cobras. I don't know why they made a western with copperheads called Copperhead. I just know there is one that aired on Syfy; and chances are, this isn't a Syfy original. As in, it could've originally aired in some theater or something. They made copperheads out to be more aggressive than snakes usually are. Mambas are the only venomous kind likely to attack if you're not doing anything, and this movie has like a bunch of them ganging up on people.
Take care and God bless
