I heard the "rattle" and was looking to see what it was and saw the body of a snake. I looked closer and saw the rattle shaking at me. I never saw his head. Once I convinced Todd it was a rattle snake we ran out of the woods like little kids.
The freaky thing was Todd and I both had heard that same sound while walking earlier and it had been much closer than this one. Neither one of us recognized the sound as a rattle snake. If I hadn't seen it we probably would have never know it was there just by the sound. They just don't sound like they do in movies.

I saw what looked like a coral snake yesterday in the woods but I think it was the non-poisonous variety. very small, about 6-8" and banded with red/orange, white and black. Never seen anything like that in SW Ohio.
