I had checked around the base of the tree for snakes before getting comfortable. I then heard that baby toy blow up. After holding my breath and getting out from under the tree, I started to investigate with my flashlight, and I finally saw him about 5 feet up in the tree. It was on that day that I learned to look up and down before getting comfortable. I’ve had three fairly close encounters with rattlers including this one, but luckily I haven’t been bit yet. A buddy of mine got bit two years ago about a mile north of my place. He killed it and took it in with him to the emergency room so they wouldn’t question him about what kind of snake bit him. He said that it created a big commotion when he laid it on the check-in counter at the ER.</p></blockquote><p></p>
