    Chigger Bites...! ouch!

    Epsom salts are the way to go.get the bath water as hot as you can stand it.pour in a couple pints of salt,stir,get in.it will instantly itch like crazy.scratch till hearts content.rip em open.then get out.after it dries your chigger problems should be over.you may have to repeat once in bad...

    Clear coat is the best way to go.That way you don't have to worry about matching your clothes or your heels to your nail color. Al

    Pair of Timber Rattlers

    If four footeds can learn from predatory attacks why cannot a human being as I am being presumably at the top of the evolutionary peak not seem to learn from chigger attacks? I go back to the same places year in and year out and while i do spray myself sometimes at least twice a year I am lax...

    So what your saying is that snakes are smarter then often given credit for and can learn from bad experiences.I think personally that some species are smarter then others.garter snakes and pine snakeslearn very quickly that I am unfased if they bite me and usually only do so once and then calm...

    Thanks Guy, I have caught a few snakes while with you and iot's nice to see you have my back so people don't think I'm abusing snakes.I've never hurt one intentionally though as a small boy I can remember three circumstances where I was inadvertently responsible for the deaths of snakes but it...

    Pair of Timber Rattlers

    I will check these pages out to see if I've been handling properly.It will severly distress me if I find that I have filled the woods with retarded,shell shocked snakes.Uncle Sam handled me quite roughly in Desert Storm so i know what it's like to have shell shock and unfortunatley to be...

    Pair of Timber Rattlers

    I've never stepped on a snake to catch one,as a matter of fact every snake I've ever caught I just grabbed except for the rattlers.they take a little more care.The only animals I will kill intentionally are the ones that are hurting me or have the immediate,likely potential to hurt me.My wife...

    I handle snakes because I'm fascinated by them.How can something move that fast and climb trees and swim all with no arms or legs.They can fit in places you wouldn't believe even for their size.They can get stuck though.I had two ball pythons escape once and get lodged inside an old vcr and they...

    Pair of Timber Rattlers

    Did the snakes relocate themselves nearby or did biologists move them some distance and build them dens ? I think you have just hit the nail on the head when it comes to the primary threat to snakes and all wildlife,namely habitat destruction.No doubt illegal collecting hurts some and even as...

    I used to belong to the NJ herp atlas so when i was catching snakes then it wasn't amusemnt but science since I was reporting what I found and had to make a positive Identification.I will have to sign back up to herp atlas today so i can quit being a rebel and become a legitimite member of the...

    Pair of Timber Rattlers

    The only problem is Dragon is that snakes are always vulnerable to predation.Are you saying they are less vulnerable when on home ground then when in unknown territory?If so I do agree and if you are right about handling making them leave then that has merit but in reality they are at risk...

    Tuesday with Alfie

    actually Bob we were in bear swamp east about three miles east of where we were that day. also a nice swamp but without the monster trees but the streams are even nicer in the east swamp but not as large of open areas. I'm quite disappointed to see Bill cut out part of the first pic and...
