Yesterday I was out for a medium distance run in El Moro state park. As I was running along a single track section I turned a corner and whoa! Boy was I close to treading on this girl! At first I thought she was dead because she was completely still, but then I noticed her tongue slithering in and out of her mouth. I quickly pulled out my camera and starting shooting in high speed burst mode to capture any movement. I don't think she wanted to be on camera because as soon as started filming she began rattling rather loudly and quickly made her way to the bushes.
Here is what I saw.
That is one big snake! Wow. Glad you didn't step on it... I've almost stepped on a couple at Lake Murray. I hear their population is growing, but who knows if that's true.
ReplyDeleteyikes! close call!
ReplyDeleteWow. That's a big one. I nearly stepped on a baby in Death Valley back in July and that scared me. Cool video.
ReplyDeleteI love it that your first reaction was to reach for your camera! Most other people would have pooped themselves and ran the other way.
