I was never afraid of snakes but I prefer them to stay in their lane.
Unless I needed their hide for something I let them be.

In this neck of the woods copperheads are about all you have to worry about and they refuse to give people the antivenom if at all possible because apparently it is worse than the snakebite and by the time they actually get some it won't do you any good. They basically just provide you support treating the venom side effects for a couple days.
