: I've been bitten by hundreds of local Garters over the years with no sign of 
: reaction. A friend new to snakes got bit by a 2ft Red-sided garter when I was 
: with her that resulted in a great deal of swelling, redness and pain. I wrote 
: it off as an allergic reaction until one day I got bit by a small garter in 
: South Florida. An almost identical reaction ensued - throbbing, swelling of 
: the entire hand, redness and mild pain due to the swelling. I could only close 
: my fingers 1/4 of the way. I was told by the Curator of Reptiles at the LA Zoo 
: that he reacts similarly to the bite of the San Fran. Garter.

Do you enjoy being bit by snakes or what..?!  If you are looking for some 
extra thrill why don't you try rattlesnakes?
