Cant say that I have mate. But I have heard many stories about the effects their bites have. I have heard some people say that the effects are like that of a hognose. Then again I have heard someone say they're as lethal as a timber rattle snake. Either way it can be painful if you get tagged by them so be careful with the handling mate  |

Try rubbing a dead rat over your hand then wiggling your fingers in front of the snake. Then you can let us all know what it feels like. Don't try this at home kids! |

I heard that a snake expert (I forget who) was bitten by one and had a stiff arm for the rest of his life! We sold it today and I didn't get bitten woohoo! I was very nervous though and everytime I got it into the bag it started coming back at me! |
