Cool ,now tell us about the rattle snake in the avatar ? I'm cool with sharks but have very little experience with rattlers other than dealing with a chick who got bit at Santo Tomas .
Cheers, Don
Ha, yeah a random picture for a dive site, I know. But, the relevance is that you are required to posses a fishing license to take snakes. The one in the avatar, after the photo shoot, was taken and consumed. Not bad. A bit boney, like a trout, and mild in taste.
And about 2 years before I shot that snake, I was bit by a Southern Pacific here in Alta Loma. A pretty bad bite. I was air-lifted to our local trauma center and almost lost my arm. I was released after 6 days on my back, 3 of which were in ICU. Freakin' hurt. If it wasn't for the doc's at Loma Linda, I wouldn't have my right arm right now. If you've ever seen Venom ER on Animal Planet, those were my doctors. Amazing human beings.
So yeah, there's a few reason behind the snake in the avatar...
I think I'd rather chance an encounter with a smiling Great White after that episode in my life :shark4: (But I hope is doesn't come to that)
