I'll admit it. I'm scared to death of them. Have been for as long as I can remember. I vaguely remember being chased (at least that's how I saw it) by them as a child while camping. Maybe they were dreams, but whatever. The thought of a coiled rattlesnake is almost always in my head when creeping around streams.
Has anyone here ever been bitten? Any close calls?
I almost stepped on a small snake with a diamond shaped head last year along a tributary to Snake Creek (I guess I should have expected it) in NE PA. I don't think it was a rattler. Maybe a copper head (if they're even around). I think I read once that if it has a diamond shaped head, it's poisonous.
Some streams seem to have a reputation for rattlers. Rock Run (Lycoming trib) and Lick Run (WB Susq trib) are two streams I have been warned about. Any other streams like this you've heard of? Are they everywhere? ARE THEY AFTER ME?
