Here's the culprit when he still had all his teeth - an Eastern gartersnake. Not venomous, and according to some webpages, with a painless bite. Maybe that's if they don't leave their teeth behind.

That is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWe need more details. Did you catch it or was it a captive snake. Did you pull the teeth out yourself?
Well Andy, you are such a guy. Taking pictures of the teeth that a snake left in you? Eww. I guess there was a part of me that did think it was cool...but mostly I'm just glad you are alive :) I like the picture with the tongue the most (yum).
