I live in AZ where the population of snakes (rattle snakes) is especially prominent...I've only seen one. And it was dead. LOL I don't have a problem with snakes really. If they're like anacondas or Rattlers or pythons thennn I would be really scared.
): I'm arachnaphobic. I can't stand spiders :( haha

Contrary to popular belief rattlesnakes do not always rattle a warning. They are heavy sleepers and will fall asleep while sunning themselves and not know you are there unless you touch them, in which case they will bite intantly.

Most common bites occur when a person steps on a sleeping one.

Do snakes sun while all stretched out? I was scouting by myself in the woods for a place to deer hunt (1980, I think) and almost stepped on a 3 ft (1m) rattlesnake (cane break I, think) that was stretched out.

It is common for a snake to sun itself all stretched out. Howevr, since this was a rattlesnake, I would suspect that it was moving and when it sensed your presence it stopped in hopes you would not see it. When snakes sun themselves they usually do so on a smooth open rocky surface or on a road (which is not healthy for them)
