I'd heard the same thing about baby snakes for years. When we moved here, I joined a "Texas Snakes" group on facebook as well as a "National Snakebite Support" group. It turns out that is a fallacy.

The National Snakebite Support group covers bites to people AND pets.
It's very well moderated and is essentially ONLY for recipients of snakebites to get advice from doctors and/or veterinarians. There is a lot of great information there.
