    Grandpa's information may not be accurate, but I enjoyed listening to his experiences. He might not have formal education, but I am sure experientially he could teach any scholar a thing or two.

    It's so disgusting that the comments show how ignorant some of you are. On another note you can correct someone without being smug about it.

      true... we see now that some humans are also very poisonous.

    We respect Pop's bush experience and know how etc,but he has most of his info wrong snakes that he's calling venomous/poisonous (Cascabel) are not and snakes that are venomous (Zanana) he's saying they're not,and the Balsain isnt the Bushmaster that's the Zanana,this sorta misinformation isn't helping anyone and can actually be dangerous. ..We have 4 very venomous snakes in T&T..and one or two very mild ones,the following are the 4 very venomous ones:
    Mapipere Balsain /Bothrops Athrox
    Mapipere Zanana/ Lachesis muta
    Small Coral/Micrurus circinalis
    Large Coral/ Micrurus Lemnicatus

      @@tyresehinds4174 that's old time ignorant talk.,snakes just want to get away from confrontation and should be respected and left alone,,don't you see they always try to.go the opposite way when confronted ? And they play a very important role in controlling pests ..uncle had his experiences and surely he probably knows a thing or two about the bush but I cannot accept his misinformation as anything noble or substantial..
