Rare encouter

I like them.  Have two horned toads as pets for awhile, but ran out of their favorite ants.  I usually pick up any snake and move it to a safer place- both for humans and them.  My son shared a rock ledge with a big western last weekend.  I would have convinced the snake to hunt the lower end, but they coexisted.  Snakes have a place too.

What I have in common with my beagle Sammy is we were both bite by Copperheads.    :eek:

"I held its head down with a arrow".

Yep I usually hold their heads down with an arrow too! Though the arra is usually tipped with a razer sharp head and when the quit wiggling..... Put the arra back in the quiver!

Good job not getting bitten!     After I looked it up, I found that it is the same genus as what is known around here as a "Pygmy Rattler." At a couple of the public hunting areas I go to, they are pretty plentiful. Luckily for them, they usually aren't big enough to back a bow with and are usually fairly timid. The biggest one I've seen was about 2 to 2.5 feet long, and that's a biggun'!
 Very cool experience for ya though, thanks for sharing it with us!
