#98QBKiller Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 http://kdrv.com/page/219757 Snake on Windshield Startles Motorists (CNN) -- A Tennessee family received a rude surprise during a recent road trip. Rachel and Tony Fisher were driving along in Memphis when a snake slithered onto the windshield. Tony pulled out the camera, and got the whole thing on film. The snake eventually slithered off the car, but the couple got a bit of flak for not pulling over to let the snake slither away. "A lot of Facebook comments, I don't like snakes. I'm more scared of snakes probably then my wife is. And so, I was like I just want the thing off the car. I don't want to try to have to get out of the car and deal with it," said Tony. The Fishers say their vehicle was in a wooded area the night before this unforgettable drive. They're guessing that's when the snake crawled into their engine.

China Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 So why didn't they just pull over so the snake could leave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 That snake was probably thinking "holycrapholycrapholycrap!!!" the whole time. I'll tell you though. If it was a water moccasin I wouldn't be messing with it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HailGreen28 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It wasn't a rattlesnake, or any poisonous snake. Only poisonous snake with a head like that, would be a coral snake, which looks nothing like that snake. I've seen that pattern on a snake before, but forget what it is. Dumb people in the car: You just recklessly drove down a highway with a major distraction, even if you weren't recording. And you killed a non-poisonous snake. Congrats. :doh: edit to my edit: Might have been a rat snake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
