  Should have handled less dangerous snakes. A nice hognose would be good. You can still say it is venomous, but the worst that could realistically happen is a lil' swelling.
  
  Plus they're cute snakes!

  "17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." -- Mark 16: 17-18
  
  Some people are too literal minded. Jesus often uses striking images and metaphors.

  I love snakes and I have had lots of them as pets. The ones I kept are all non venomous. I never had the nerve to handle venomous snakes. You need to have a healthy respect for nature and not mess with what could kill you

  I'm not much on human sacrifice but in his case I'll make an exception.
