I am just reading this article where a lady has been bitten by a baby copperhead snake when she picked it up to show her children!!!!
Please have a read of the information available on the Working with Wildlife website - this bite could have been easily avoided simply by leaving the snake alone.

Extra Dangers Caused By The Mississippi Floods
Just been reading this article about the Mississippi floods where residents are being warned to take care because the water has displaced venomous snakes.
Now, more than ever, would be a good time to check out the Working with Wildlife website and if nothing else download a snake bite first aid sheet - it costs you nothing and could save a life if someone is bitten and help is not at hand because of the floods.
It would also be a very good idea to consider buying the e-Book, or doing the online course because both will provide you with strategies that could reduce your chances of being bitten.
Also remember that you can always Contact Us with any questions you have on this topic and we will be happy to provide you with any information we can.

The USA e-Book Is Now Available!!!!
Long time readers of this blog and people who have been to the Working with Wildlife website would be aware that we have been working on an e-Book to give people a better understanding of snakes of the USA and their actions when they come into contact with people.
Well, after hours of work and a fantastic effort by all the Working with Wildlife team, the Snakes & Us In The USA - A Sensible Perspective e-Book is now available for sale.
It is a fascinating read and we are sure that by the end of the book you will have a better appreciation of why these creatures do what they do and will learn strategies that will greatly reduce the chance of you being bitten by a snake.
There are snake bite first aid sheets at the back of the book that can be printed off to keep with you while you travel and there are also many references to other information if herpetology is a subject that interests you.
Check it out - it is well worth the read.

The Name Has Changed But The Value Of The Information Remains The Same
Long time readers of this blog will have noticed that the name has recently changed from Living with Wildlife USA to Working with Wildlife USA. This is because there have been some internal changes within our subsidiary company in Australia and they are now trading under the new name Working with Wildlife.
After lengthy discussions we have decided to do the same thing here and in the very near future we will be introducing you to our new website - Working with Wildlife USA!!!
Keep visiting this blog, or visit our current website where you will find out more - we are very excited about this new initiative and we are sure you, as the customer, will benefit greatly from this change.

First Aid For Pit Viper Snake Bite Instructions
The First Aid For Pit Viper Snake Bite instruction sheet is now available for download via the Living with Wildlife website.
You can now have first aid instructions for both Pit Viper and Elapid snake bite free of charge simply by downloading and printing off the sheets and keeping them in an easily accessible location.
Many people who download these sheets get them laminated to both protect them and also so that they can make notes on them using a marking pen while waiting for medical assistance to arrive.
We hope you find these instructions helpful if snakes and snake bite are a problem in your area.

Check Out The Online Course Sample
There have been several inquiries to Living with Wildlife asking if it was possible to view a sample of the Online Snake Awareness course to see what type of information is available on it.
Thank you for your feedback - we listened - click here to check out a sample of the course so that you can get a feel for the depth of information that is available on it.
In particular, take note of the Main Menu screen to see just how much information on snakes and their behaviour you will learn from this course - it is great value for money and well worth completing if this topic is of interest to you.

A Great Resource of Information
I read this online question about corn snake bite yesterday and not being a technician in this area I thought I would ask the Living with Wildlife team if they could help with an answer.
Less than 24 hours later the following response came back -
Even though a Corn Snake is considered "non-venomous" there is some evidence that they have toxins in their saliva which can cause localized reactions in some people. This seems to be the case in this instance although the possibility of secondary infection may also be a possibility - refer http://www.toxinology.com/fusebox.cfm?fuseaction=main.snakes.display&id=SN1379 for more information.
It is great having resources like Living with Wildlife readily available online, because this type of subject is often not relevant to people until the are unlucky enough to be bitten by a snake.
That is why something like the online snake awareness course and the soon to be released e-Book can be so useful - both go into much greater detail on the subject of snakes, snake bite and how to reduce the chance of being bitten by one - for how much they cost it is well worth considering the course or the book.
