| Hi at all! (from very cold Carinthia)
This viedeo has been posted on a austrian reptile forum:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vajhKUonFCs
The discussions wether it's real or not won't stop since then, of course.
Maybe our US friends here know more about this incidence?
Is it real or just "show"?
If it's real, where and when did it happen and who are these people acting with a large rattler that amateurish?
Cheers
Peter

| Hello Peter,
my empty posting should have said:
It is obviously a fake. I think the snake is supposed to be a Crot. atrox (look at the tail), well known and feared by many US-Americans. But it is not even a dead one but just a long bag.
The snake never moves by itself, it is moved.
If you stop the video and look at the face of the guy who moves the snake right after the "bite", you can see that he cannot avoid to laugh. I don´t think he would do so after a real bite.
Best regards,
Rainer |

| I dont know, if the snake in the movie, posted by Totte Meilstrup is the same "snake" as in the first video.
Especially this in the first video, is no real snake. It looks to me like a cotton snake, you may buy in zoo-shops etc. As Rainer wrote, there are strange movements, never will done by a snake, not even a dead one.
The snake, trimmed to atrox in the second video seems to be a rubber snake too. Lok how it opens and closes its mouth.

Depends on who's got bitten.
