If by some great misfortune you you find yourself in a hole with these treacherous, heartless, poisonous creatures with your demise as their ultimate goal, here are some things you can do for you to survive. I tell you it's not going to be the easiest thing to do, but sometimes we just have to realize that if you try to be nice to these wicked things, they will destroy you! So what's it gonna be?
1. Don't think that one of the snakes will be on your side to help you.
Again, snakes are extremely treacherous. Don't be fooled by even the nice-looking ones that seem completely harmless. They may fool you with their grace, but their sting kills the most. The sea snake for instance may mesmerize swimmers, especially with the way it moves underwater. But then, it just wants you dead like all others. Sea snakes are usually aquatic, but they may jump in that snake hole even if they don't belong there! The fact that both of you don't belong there may lead you to believe that it is on your side.
2. Snakes usually begin the kill with a sweet embrace.
The constrictors cause a lot of confusion. At first, you may think that the snake is just playing around with you, trying to make you think that it's not really that cold-blooded animal that has been established as a fact by science. But then the embrace becomes tighter, and tighter, until you become the cold-blooded animal as your blood has effectively stopped flowing. So be cautious about those that hug you, because they just might kill you.
3. Learn to differentiate the non-poisonous snakes from the poisonous ones, as some of them may have similar patterns.
The milk snake with it's red, black and orange rings may be mistaken for the coral snake which has the same colors. While the former poses no threat to you, the latter is just like most snakes: seemingly harmless but deadly. Remember though that the non-poisonous snakes aren't really on your side, as they usually do nothing but watch as their fellow snakes sting you to death.
4. Never turn your back on the snakes.
Snakes just love it when you're at your most vulnerable, because then they can all act in unison and bite you when they can! Always be aware of their movements. Take note of their overt actions which may betray an intention to destroy you; know the snakes well. One way to do this is to think in the ways they do.
5. Get ready to suck, and spit out, the poison.
It is simply inevitable that in a snake pit with that many snakes one of them would be lucky or smart enough to have bitten you despite your resistance. Suck it in, then spit it out! You don't want that toxic substance inside you, because if it doesn't kill you, then it might have some adverse effects on those outside of the snake pit whom you would, as much as possible, want protected. Although this has yet to be proven, it's always better to leave the toxic with the snakes as these are the creatures who love it so much anyway!
6. Adapt quick.
Sometimes you just have to be in the snake pit for a long time, because climbing out of it may take days, months, or even years! As human beings, we usually become immune of toxic substances anyway, so if you have to suck it in, don't spit it out! I mean they're going to keep biting and stinging so, gradually take it in until their bites no longer pose any danger. Because then, you're sting or bite might even be more fatal. When that happens, take a rest from all that thinking and analyzing these reptiles. Relax.
7. Turn the tables. The prey has now become the predator.
Although they may have been powerful at first, remember that you can achieve the impossible just by thinking over the whole situation deliberately, then thinking in the way your enemy would. Getting back at the snakes may seem like stooping down to their level, but then, if you want to be vindicated, go ahead. They have their killer instincts, you tried to keep yours under control, but given that doing so doesn't work, then just go for you feel is necessary. Snakes are animals too after all that may just be trying to protect their space or something. That's understandable. But then, when not only are they doing no good but in fact harming you, it's time to make a move.
And in the end, you may have just conquered the snake pit.
