Friend has a CanAm Spyder , the three wheeler with two wheel in front. Yea I know, not a real motorcycle. Anyways, he rides 30 minutes to dealer for service. Dude works on maintenance for an hour, then as he finishes, goes to ck the oil. Mechanic hears rattling sound and looks up to see 4 foot rattler a foot from his face. Obviously went beserk running into showroom cussing and ranting and was told to clear up his language till they heard his story. Evidently, snake had crawled onto warm engine with our cool nights as bike sat in driveway. My buddy had ridden half an hour with that between his legs. Everyone lucky. I do know, the last couple times to farm, I've looked under my ATV seat to make sure clear even tho I've never seen a poisinous snake at my place. Might want to do the same ck yourselves. My buddy does live in a snake infested place in VA, he's killed few dozen rattlers since moving there last 6 years. I'd sell.
 
Had a mouse come out and sit on my instrument panel while rolling down the highway. It wasn't as bad as it could've been but I can't imagine a snake. Let alone a rattler!
 
Brian, he lives probably near you in Giles County. Same week he had his dog tore up by bear that came in yard. Rough week. Hope you grabbed some rain for your place, I've been in the dry split.
 
That is scary. One good thing about my neck of the woods, not many poisonous snakes. You hear about an occasional rattler, cottonmouth and copperhead but they are few and far between thank goodness.
 
I brushhogged 3 different copperheads I know of on Sunday in different areas of the property I was working on... I am headed back to that place to resume after work today and will probably run over a few more...

I was just cautioning my sons about snakes out sunning again this time of year, So far this year we've killed two velvet tails & one cottonmouth.
