 Anybody have some generic advice on dealing with snakes, how to avoid, how
 to deal if come face to face with a big mammajamma, how to tell which are
 poisonous?
 
 Maybe a quick read book, or some trail experience from y'all veterans?  No
 offense, Coosa, but I dunno if your chant is enough for me<BG>.
 
 Sank yas!
