Yes, well we have those rattlesnakes too. Actually, I have had nightmares about them for a week now. Snakes scare me to death.
I think it all stems from when I was about 6 years old and stumbled across a Coral snake. It was about 3 feet from the path my Mom, siblings and I were walking on to take groceries in the house. I was the first one to notice it. Ran straight to the car, jumped in, locked the doors and starting honking the horn hysterically. Was crying too of course. Had been warned by my parents which ones to watch out for as we lived in the boonies.
Is a funny thought now and my older siblings like to tease me about it. I could have not warned anyone and left them to fend for themselves. They should be thankful! :lol:
