More bites happen to children because snakes are "cool" or "pretty" same with adults. My own kids, who have been around snakes their whole life, wanted to pick up a rattler when we were in Oklahoma because they thought the rattle was "neat". Thats why sites like this and others are soooooo important, it's all about education, education, education!! Don't pick up wild snakes, there are plenty available in pet stores and rescues anyway. And no, my kids didn't wind up picking up the rattler, thank goodness I was there!
