Black snakes have tiny teeth that help hold the food in their mouth as they swallow it. When they bite a human most of the time it will break the skin drawing blood. It hurts and snakes mouth has lots of bacteria and can cause an infection.

I am an eye witness to several black snake's bloody bites, my brothers and cousins couldn't resist catching snakes they found on the farm when we were kids.

You know, I should never take his word for anything as the man is just rife with misinformation. Tried to tell me that 90% of dust is skin cells (um, no), brisk walking burns more calories than mountain biking (are you kidding?!), swedish meatballs are all protein (now, you're just being stupid).

Well, glad he didn't jump out and bite us! Good grief, a snake bite and subsequent infection? Great...

Driving down 485 at 80 mph and he starts to come through the air vents? That's a good time right there.

Give it time. You just haven't been down here long enough.

I even drove the truck with it in there!! I think a snake bite would be kind of bada$$ if I do say so myself. Traumatic but bada$$.

As someone who has sustained a southern snake bite (that rule? about using a stick first?? All it does is wake the damned things up ANGRY!!), fortunately, not a poisonous one.....I think I'll forego being bada$$......thanks!

Hey, tigs. Don't worry. I was born in Georgia and I'm not that Southern.

That's just plain crazy talk about bada$$ snakebites. LOL

I see a new movie in the works... Snakes In SUVs rated R. It won't be long because it will most likely kill a driver, it's passenger, and then a cop, but it may get good ratings if you get Samuel L. Jackson to do a cameo. lol
