There's ouchie then there's YEEEEEOOOOOUCH!

Quote:I was just considering the mechanics of such a thing occuring. The average adult male in this country is around 5'11". That would put his groin area somewhere around 3 feet. This means that this snake had to strike at an uppward angle this approximate distance to bite the farmer on his penis. Taking that into consideration, that must have been a pretty good size snake to have this kind of reach. Farmers are generally pretty savvy with nature and the outdoors so for a farmer to not have noticed a snake large enough to perform this feat that was that close and ready to strike is pretty perplexing.

... I guess he was distracted.
 

 

As a rule of thumb, rattlesnakes can, at best, strike a distance of two-thirds their total body length. For example, a three foot long snake may be able to strike a distance of <b>two feet</b>. Always keep a safe distance from any snake
