Trois said this: "Just a little aside. I have a picture of a Cottonmouth eating a Kingsnake in my back yard. Cottonmouths will eat anything they can swallow" And Trois has been snakebit. Ouch.
I've had several dogs get bitten by rattlesnakes, but they have survived. When my husband was a boy, his big boxer wouldn't let him go into some brambles after a rabbit. He saw in the moolight that it was standing over a rattler that kept biting him. The dog laid on the porch for a week, wouldn't eat or drink, then got well, then got stolen by a nieghbor.

Here is a picture of the opposite--a kingsnake eating a cottonmouth in our dog yard. My son took the picture in almost complete dark. The digital camera supplied enough light without using the flash.
