Snakes

[Ranger]

Once again, dinosaurs are neither poisonous nor venomous. They are, however, a little prickly.

I thought dinosaurs were spiky rather than prickly? :tinysmile_fatgrin_t
And that doesn't make them poisonous nor venomous. They are dangerous! :tinysmile_fatgrin_t

Talking about snakes, I hope I don't get to see one. Me so scared. Me freezes to death when me sees them.

Sorry for my insistence but the term "poisonous snake" is a misnomer.

Poison is generally ingested although it can be absorbed by the skin. Venom is generally injected but can be secreted. Hence there is a miniscule grey area here. But since the venemous snakes inject their victims, they are "venemous". Handling or ingesting a venemous snake (after decapitaion) will not poison you.

P.S. Glad you are amused, Sarge.

Sorry Dinosaur. I knew that, I was just reverting to form. I know you can eat a snake after removing it's head and the venom sacks but I was just talking and didn't think.
