One more s~n~a~k~e tale.
I drive a small car, a Miata convertible. One day I stopped my car at my mailbox and heard a strange sorta puffing noise on the passenger side of the car.
First thought, "I have a flat tire and the noise was air coming out of the tire." Wrong!! I looked out the window and right into the face of a COBRA!!!! I sat there trying to decide what to do. The car window is at least 30" off the ground so this Cobra had to be over 3 foot long to look in my car window. I thought that maybe it had escaped from my neighbors house. Sounds like something that they would have. LOL
I sure didn't want a Cobra sliding off into the woods around my house.
About that time one of my old Farmer neighbors came driving up and in his old Southern farmer drawl said "MS Betty, ju kno yure car tire is sitting on a spreading Adder Snake??" At first I was relieved that it wasn't a Cobra, then I asked "What's a Spreading Adder, is it some type of Cobra?" He kidded me about that for years. No Pictures of this one. LOL
