True Story, Check This Out

On Friday the 18th of this month, approx 9 days ago something strange happened. It was about 1:00 pm and I was on this site posting as usual and I hear Linda screaming from the top of her lungs in my bedroom. So even though I can hardly walk because of a super sore quad from an injection, I move as fast as I can to see what is wrong.

Now I want to let you know that I live in the hills here in Baja and it had been warm for about a week. Because of one of my 6 dogs who love’s to tear up screen doors, my bedroom which has a sliding glass door in it, is missing the sliding screen door. So I had been opening the door a little bit doing the warm days. Well I meet up with Linda and can’t calm her down. After a little while she takes off running into the other room. So I follow her and finally calm her down and ask her, what is the problem? She informs me that there is a snake in our bedroom. So I go back in there and I look everywhere. I find nothing.

Well that night she wakes up around midnight, turns on the light and just keeps staring down at the floor. That wakes me up and you guess it, we end up removing everything from the bedroom. We find nothing and put everything back. That takes us until 6:00 am. The next afternoon Sat Linda again starts removing things from the bedroom and just drives me crazy all day. I tell her all day that there is no snake and she probably saw something and just freaked.

So we go to bed that night and we both get some sleep. The next day around 1:00 pm again I hear her scream again I run into the bedroom. The difference this time is I know what she is screaming about. I look over at the sliding door and there sets a baby rattlesnake.

I ended up killing it and I ended up telling Linda that I guess she wasn’t crazy after all. Imagine we slept in that room for at least two days with a rattlesnake in there.

Tough

Nice, should of let it go however, I am a lover of animals. I did not know really how a rattler sounded until I almost stepped on one myself out in Barstow. It does not sound like TV. They use a human shaking a dry rattle. Sounded more like a crickett sort of, I tuned in and saw a 7 ft snake rolling in front of me when I was going to dig a whole to shit in one night.

Wow, I've had my close encounters w/ rattle snakes. No good. Plus those baby rattlers are the dangerous ones.

I absolutely hate snakes! I would have been the one running out of the bedroom at 1am...then staying in a hotel room until the fucker was found. Man I can deal with almost anything, but when it comes to snakes I'm a pansy. Can't even watch them on tv.

i'm with PJT on this one!!!!

yeah what jay said is right the babies are just as poisonious as the adults the only diff. is that they don't know how to control the venom so when they bite they spit it all in one shot-
death by worm (or so I thought :dead: )

You should have let it go, just far away. No need for more killing. They also eat the things that are the real pest, rats and mice.

shit man thats crazy i dont hate snakes but i dont like rattlesnakes though i definitly wouldnt wanna sleep in my damn bed with one in the house lol.

holy shit dude
i would have been the on screaming LOL

Well, growing up in the stix I have to agree with this one, rattlesnake is amazing if cooked right. TOM I'm glad you found that little fucker before any harm was done, there just as poisonous as the big boys.

Yep fry it up!
WASTE NOT WANT NOT! :satan:
