fermin benedetti No, it's not Plum Island, it's a place in Northern California a few miles away from Willits CA. On separate occasion better than a 100 miles away I encountered a charcoal black pit viper, fortunately I wasn't bitten, I was just lucky. . The inside of it's mouth was deep red in color having fangs forward in its mouth like a Black Mamba, the fangs didn't appear as sheathed fangs rather instead they were unsheathed which was evident because the creature tried to bite me several times in so doing providing me with a good look inside its mouth. . I tried long and hard at identifying the species without any luck. . I still feel lucky to this very day I wasn't bitten by that deadly creature. . These TWO encounters are the only ones I had involving (undocumented) venomous snakes. Lesson learned: Roaming about in remote hinterlands should not be undertaken lightly.
