Hey guys, I found this VERY cute baby rattler the other day... how I found him will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up! I work with a Hydroseed Company the crews were short handed to I was on a flatbed truck with hay hooks throwning hay threw the blower... anyway, I had put my hooks down and went to grab a hay bale by the strings and put my hand smack down on this little guy and gripped him!! When I saw what it was I screamed like a 5 year old school girl. He could have messed me up but he didnt bite me! Needless to say.... I like all ten of my fingers ON MY HANDS!! Cutie of a snake, Dan

I live in IL now, but I grew up iN CA.

I still worry when walking through tall grass, even though I know they aren't here!

Could have easily been fatal to the poor little guy if the wrong person came upon it.
