I have been handling snakes for 35 years and I can tell you that belief in God has nothing to do with whether you get bitten or not. This movie was very frustrating. Assuming they were handeling Timber Rattlesnakes and that it had Type B venom, (judging by wounds and geography) just praying is not going to work. They need a medical doctor so they can inject ant-venom. Handeling snakes is not a religon.
