That was close. I've never thought of wasp spray.
Did the wasp spray kill him?.........

I read about it someplace. It allows you to stay far back from the snake. It sure made him unhappy. Not sure if it would have killed it since I didn't wait for the final result of the spray to kick in. A trusty shovel divided it into two pieces.

I took a stick and opened it's mouth and there were two fangs.

My son got bit by one some years ago. He was in his 30's. I've seen what they can do. I thought the hospital was going to kill him with pain killers. It put him in a wheelchair for months. 26K hospital bill & off work for months. Nasty critter! They say Rattlers are 10 times worse.
