This happened in Arizona, but we have a lot of copperheads here in Tennessee, and a few timber rattlers.
Oh Diana, I heard on the news that Miss Wisconsin called 9/11 for Miss Tennessee when this happened, Miss Iowa picked the fang out of MT’s foot. We country gals stick together (grin).
Yikes! She’s very lucky to even be walking now, let alone trying to walk in high heels. I have much respect for rattlers having had several close encounters with them when living in So CA.
..Florida has 'coral snakes' that are small, colorful, quite venomous and actually chew on you once they get a hold.
..nasty little critters
You know what my first thought was, though? I wondered if this was a "competitive to the death Texas Cheerleader" situation where a competitor threw a snake on her while she was sleeping!
I'm more a-skeered of City Gals than I am of snakes; they fight dirty, LOL!
