This is the deadly snow snake. It has bitten 3 people in the state of Ohio and one in Pennsylvania. It’s been spotted in other states. It comes out in the cold weather and at this time there is no cure for it’s bite. One bite and your blood starts to freeze.

What the persons behind this hoax don’t know is that snakes are cold-blooded. They and many other reptiles find shelter in holes or burrows, and spend the winter inactive, or dormant. This is similar to hibernation. They crawl into caves, hollow logs, or other animal's burrows to hibernate.

I started the hoax and I do know snakes are cold blooded. What the poster of this doesn't know is I have friends all the time posting stories that I know are not true. I thought to myself is I bet They would be gullible enough to repost this and believe it.
