But the truth is if you aren' t properly trained to handle such creatures, they are incredibly dangerous and can be deadly. Here are some things you never want to find out about venomous snakes. Venom potency depends on what the snake is feeling at that particular time. If the snake is attacking you, the venom is much more dangerous than if the snake is defending itself. Venom isn't necessarily dangerous.
Some snakes are venomous but are only dangerous to certain types of animals.
So, just because you are bitten by a venomous snake doesn't mean you're going to die. A small snake, depending on the type and mood and other factors, can be just as dangerous as a big one. Just because you've cut off the snake's head doesn't mean you can't be subjected to its venom. The potency of a snake's venom does not subside just because the snake is dead. So if you've killed a snake and the venom is still flowing, look out.
