“Also, there are Mojave Greens they will literally pursue a human.”
Yep!!! Them suckers are VERY aggressive, and half the time they will not rattle. I have been chased by them. Not far, but they DO come at ya! I stepped on one in the garden while wearing sandals. I jumped backwards and it bit the bottom of my sandal. It never rattled the whole time up until I took its head off with my snake gun (.410)
I hate them! Glad you weren’t bitten.
