I scoop up snakes all the time... never been bitten... not sure why folks up here are scared of them. Down south it was a different story.
I was fishing once with Husband 1.0, and watched a snake getting into the river, across the bank from us. It was swimming right to us, so I mentioned it to hubby, who yelled at me to get away from the banking. Turns out it was a water moccasin - all black, nasty looking snake. I learned to have a new respect for snakes... wasn't too keen to go fishing after that, tho.
