Whew!  They were lucky they didn't come across one!  My husband is a big burly
construction worker.  He was in a ditch a few years ago and he felt something
tapping the toe of his boot.  He looks down and realizes it's a baby rattler. 
The guys told me he screamed like a girl and jumped about 15 feet straight up
in the air with arms flailing and legs kicking!  LMAO!  

Another snake story...went camping a few years ago with a couple of families. 
One of the other moms is terrified of snakes.  Petrified.  We were walking
along the dry creek bed and she steps on a log...it shifts and all of a sudden
there is this mass exodus of baby snakes fleeing from her feet.  She starts
screaming bloody murder then freezes.  I am trying to coax her away from the
snakes..."come on, they are behind you, come toward me, you are safe, come on"
she just stood there staring at me.  Finally I had to actually go over and grab
her by the hand and lead her out.  She followed me for about 15 feet then
started screaming and running for camp.  By then all the men were running over 
wanting to know what I had done to her...lmao.  Little ol' me?  I saved her
from the snakes!!  later when we tried to talk to her about it, she had no
recollection of it at all, she was so terrified she simply did not remember. 
weird.
