How many of you have had a close encounter with one of those things? I did today and had the living h*ll scared out of me.
I was walking between a building and a retaining wall when a large black snake decided to come out of hiding. I was in a close, narrow area and didn't have anywhere to go. The snake didn't know which way it was going either.
I was trying to get out of it's way and every way I tried to step the snake was there. I finally made a dash towards the end of the building and got away, not before scaring my helper with all the yelling I was doing. He was 50 feet away from the end of the building when this was going on.
He is really scared of those things and all I got out of him was "I told you so" the rest of the afternoon.
