[Heel n Toe]

That's pretty funny about the baby rattler escaping from Tupperware Jail.

It won't live very long in his van without a source of water.

He will know it's dead when it starts to stink... he should keep wearing the boots and gloves until then. He should also be aware of where the nearest hospital or Doc-In-A-Box is at all times. It would also be a good idea to find out who has a good stock of antivenin and if he needs to be able to tell them what subspecies the snake was... it probably doesn't matter, but I would at least find out.

Or not... it might be too small to generate very much odor.

Just for laughs, tell him someone told you they like to climb and that it will probably drop down from the visor and bite him in the face.
