Doctors said one man was bitten on the hand after trying to pet a snake. They said the man had been drinking prior to the incident.

Ya think?

I walked by one in that size range once. It was a cool, but sunny day and he was all stretched out catching rays. Slinked right around him and he didn’t even budge, he was probably asleep.

It looks like the distance from the grab point to the snake's head is a lot longer than the length of the grabber, so it can still turn around and bite her.

Rattlesnakes don’t get that big. 7 feet tops. That’s gotta be Photoshopped.

Up here around the Great Lakes golfers need to be aware of the Massassauga Rattler. Its rattle is almost a hiss; it sounds like the breeze blowing through the dry grass.
