Re: Dangerous Snakes

and to add on to what Danny said: (quoted from an article)
"The chances of dying from a venomous snakebite in the United States is nearly zero, because we have available, high-quality medical care in the U.S. Fewer than one in 37,500 people are bitten by venomous snakes in the U.S. each year (7-8,000 bites per year), and only one in 50 million people will die from snakebite (5-6 fatalities per year)."
Venomous Snake FAQs

That website goes on to state you're more likely to get struck by lightning or killed by the family dog then killed by a snake bite. Ooooh and about 100 deaths per year due to horse riding accidents.
