Venomous snake

Yeah.

And, you know, I don't handle venomous snakes except a couple times a year.

I try not to handle them at all if I can get away with it.

But a couple times a year, I have to handle, down in Peru, I have to handle some things.

So, for example, if you take snakebite in Europe and in the U.S.

So Europe has about twice the population of the U.S. Europe has, until you get far east enough, it's primarily one genus, Vipera.

And Vipera are, yeah, they're venomous snakes.

They're small.

Yeah.

Well, venomous or poisonous? Venomous.

Poisonous is if you bite it and you die.

Venomous is if it bites you and you die.

So the poison dart frogs, they're poisonous, not venomous.

Yeah.
