Originally asked for snake gaiter recommendation, but after looking at the photo closer, I think I nearly stepped on a Rattlesnake and a Copperhead at the same time. How screwed would you be if you got bit by both?

I wouldn't worry about them for hiking, unless you go crawling through large rock areas.
I don't own gaiters yet, I went for boots, but they are WAY too hot in the summer so I'm going to buy the lightest pair that guarantees they won't get penetrated. I relocated a mother that just had 8 babies at my neighbor's house just last week. I've relocated 13 venomous snakes this summer. ![]() ![]() |

Turtleskin are my go to pairs, they weigh almost nothing. They can be noisy as they are a somewhat stiff material, but nothing I've walked through penetrates them, including cactus and south Tx thorns. I'll wear them with my snake boots and some light shorts during the summer.

Throw a black widow and a brown recluse into the mix and then you would have a real party!

Just google image search “double snake penetration” to find out.

You will get super Kung Fu powers, and will have to hack time to fight the Kung Führer

I read a newspaper article about a guy here in Oklahoma who got bit by a pygmy rattle snake and a copperhead at the same time. It nearly killed him.

I'm thinking some weird side effected super powers.
Like the ability to shoot venom from your teeth, but with a giant rattle stuck up your ass. |

I found it. Happened in 2005.

It would be similar to hiccuping, farting, and sneezing at the same time. Your insides would turn to jello immediately

not sure but if you get bit by a cobra and struck by lightning at the same time you become Kung Fury

Crofab will work on both.

Depending on how far out you are in the woods you'd be right fucked like a prom queen, hoss.

Relocated meant just that. I don't want them under my feet but I don't like killing them.
It takes a whole lot to get bit or really being off the clear trails where you can't see them on the ground and stepping on one. They really just want to get away from you. I will tell you the rattlers around here don't rattle much, if at all, so don't count on a warning if you're close. About the rattlers with copperheads..... When a female rattler gives off that breeding pheromone, any snake that catches a whiff will come in. 2 different occasions this summer I have caught rattlers with copperheads and the one time a huge garter snake was in there with them as well, it surprised me. |

It would suck and leave you with a hospital bill over $100,000.

Rattlesnakes are pretty toxic, but vary. I'm weird and actively look for snakes, but it isn't really all that rare in my experience. I've seen a number of copperheads and timbers in close proximity to each other, sometimes even in the same crevice or under the same boulder. |
