unless OP lives in australia or a desert the chances that the 5" snake is venomous are incredibly slim, i don't know why everybody is acting like snakes are venomous satan beasts out to kill
I'm pretty sure even baby snakes still have usable venom. and there are a few venemous species in the US, and since he apparently hasn't identified it yet, or can't, there's nothing wrong with suggesting more than cleaning the bite wound
I'm getting dizzy...
oh forget, could it be
despite what I just said, chances are it's not venemous and that's just the placebo effect. but you should still describe what the snake looked like, or even better, take a picture of it WITHOUT PUTTING ANY OF YOUR LIMBS CLOSE TO IT
