Snake bite can be an "interesting" experience... 
I've been bitten 3 times by rattlesnakes over a 5 year period.
Used to collect them for Cutter Labs over in the Bay Area when I was in my early teens. Paid extremely well for my age. Would be totally illegal now.
Painful, and one time had my entire arm turn black & blue - was never treated and never came close to fatal. Obviously.
Every single time I was bitten, it was MY fault. Never the snake. I made stupid moves, choices or decisions that put me in harms way.
Animals at this level act out of instinct.
I learned something each time - and lived to collect another day.
In one of my incarnations I had a collection of over 200 snakes and bred them for sale. (non-venomous)
