Summary
The snake is gone. Slithered away, that is, back into the brush and dust. Arthur's said it wasn’t worth chasing after, especially after you (perhaps dramatically) announced that you’d been bitten. You’re no expert on the subject of herpetology, but it’s only taken a little reading and a few choice observations of those poor sons of guns at the doctor to know that there are any number of venomous species out there in the scrublands; copperheads, rattlesnakes, vipers, and the like. Personally, you’ve never been bitten, so your knowledge of symptoms is based almost entirely on what you’ve read and seen. That being said, those books and accounts haven't helped much, considering most of them end in delightful phrases like 'difficulty breathing', 'swelling', or 'possible death'.
Actually, you don’t know if your symptoms are from the bite itself, or your raw, unrestrained panic.

Arthur does some good old fashioned field first aid.
