Boys and girls, when two snakes are fighting, don't stick your hand in the freakin' container...

That teacher ain't no prize winner either.

I'm not a snakeologist but a cotton mouth does not look like a rat snake

[CosmicCowboy]

If I was the parent I would SO be having a talk with the administration and teacher...what a fucking idiot...how could he miss that classic triangular pit viper head and think it was a "harmless" rat snake?

Here's how my thought process worked as I started reading this.

BIG SANDY, Texas — Two high school students bitten by a venomous snake in science class...
Where the hell is Big Sandy? And what kind of idiot teacher puts a venomous snake anywhere near a student?

...are recovering at an East Texas hospital.
Ah.

L O fucking L

coincidentally, I took a diamond-back to my classes last week to let my kids see what they look like only I brought mine with its' head unattached. LOL, fucking dumb ass teacher.

If it was fighting with another snake and had an all white mouth that should have been a clue it was a water moccassin.

My favorite line is at the end:

"I don't know if we will allow snakes back into any of our classrooms."


You don't know? Maybe that lawsuit will help you figure it out...

That teacher ain't no prize winner either.in this case, the teacher WOULD be a prize winner
