Ughhhhh! I'm going to have nightmares just seeing the pics. of that snake. Thank goodness just about all we have around here are garter snakes, but when I was young we used to camp & fish at Falcon Lake, in Texas, & my uncle had a run-in with a rattler. Another time my dad put on his shoes in the morning & there was a scorpion in one & he got bitten. I had a tarantula jump off a bush onto me ( also in Texas). I do love Texas, don't get me wrong, but I could sure live without some of it's critters!
