usually guys like you find the wrong snake and get bitten by a copper head or water moccosin ,so be carefull.
ive been to the sweetwater round up and those people are crazy as hell.those snakes,we callem bull snakes, eat rodents and are very usefull and i grew up learning to leave them alone because they kept the rats from chewing up saddles and tack.
and just because its not posinous dosent mean a bite wont make you deathly sick,think about what they put in their mouths, although the worst non poisinous bites come from a human , we have nasty mouths full of bacteria. ususally they will die within a week cause wild dont do captivitypet snakes and wild are two totally different worlds,but hey you can try.
