Snake encounter, that was closer than I’d like.
So I live in Tucson, and we have a “few” snakes here.
I was out riding my mountain bike this morning on some local trails near my house, and I encountered a snake crossing the trail. When I saw it, and my front tire was almost on it already, my thought was please be a bull snake, then I saw the rattles on its tail.
Now most of the time, they just slither off the path into the brush. Not this one, he hustled to the side and coiled up to strike, and we were close. All I could do is lift my leg as high as I could as I went by.
I don’t know if he struck or not, but I’m here to post about it.
