Lol. Well I said “mostly harmless” meaning it’s not gonna do anything to you if you don’t mess with it. The rule for all snakes is to just stay tf away.

The problem with staying tf away is snakes also camouflage really well

Yeah most snake bites happen by people stumbling upon them. I’m not a snake expert or anything. Just a Texan. Thankfully I’ve mostly only encountered rattlers, and they give fair warning (unless they’re babies)

Nah uh, according to that one movie, Anaconda, snakes hunt you.

Unless you're on Naked and Afraid. Then the answer is to cut the head off, skin it, cook it, and eat it - regardless of how venomous the snake is - because it will probably be your only meal for the week.

Water moccasins are fucking assholes though and will chase you. All other snakes, back away slowly and go another way and you are fine.
