come on bro… He picked the freaking thing up?
When in doubt, go nowhere near snakes.
i guess this guy was absent the day they taught common sense.
When I used to go to Scout Camp with my son snakes would make an appearance occasionaly.
We would wait for someone to come with the proper equipment to catch it, but as adults we would circle it so none of the boys got near.
We had one circled and the damn thing started moving directly at me and someone said “don’t move, it will change course”, I said “fuck that” and moved the hell out of the way!
I would have done the same thing you did. I have never heard of a snake posturing to attack and change its mind.
I think the guy that told you that got the snake confused with the T-Rex.
My daughter almost stepped on this one at my house. I gave him a free ride to Satan’s house. My daughter was terrified! She still won’t go back outside in the grass at night. For reference that board is 4 feet long.
If he was that stupid who needs him?
