Oh my.Close enough to get my parents yelling, but not close enough to get killed.
Not sure if you can tell from the photo, but that’s a baby rattlesnake. My dad killed it right after I took the shot so that’s his funeral pic.
Cherry, NOTHING is worth that risk. A baby still packs enough venom to mess you up. Please please please don't risk it like that in the future.
Sorry, enough parent mode. I'm sure yours already lit you up enough.
