Now I have to be snake vigilant even when I shop!
"Rattlesnake bites shopper - A 43-year-old man was hospitalized after he was bitten by a pygmy rattlesnake at a Florida Lowe's store. Similar incidents have been reported in the last year at a Lowe's in Oklahoma and a Wal-Mart in Jacksonville, Fla." (source msn.com)
I never had to worry about this at B&Q in Watford!

Don't tell me a little snake is going to scare you away and running back to the UK. I mean, what are the chances?
Ugh snakes freak me out. There's a black snake lives near my front door and even though he's not poisonous, I hate it!
Gaelyn! What were the chances of me finding one in a cupboard at home this year?! I rest my case lol!
Saffy - are you nuts! You remind me of my mum who kept a big black soider in her hallway once, she talked like it was almost a pet!
*sPider*!
Now thats definitely scary..
Rattlesnake? Yikes! Thank goodness we don't have any snakes in Hawaii... so far.
Would you believe me if I said we had a grass snake at the B&Q in Grantham? Nah, didn't think you would.
Ah, oh the excitement, I had relations who lived in Watford.
Cannot ever get too complacent
Bloodhound you're right lol!
We shop at those stores regularly. Now I'll be a nervous wreck every time I go in one of them!
Well they found a black widow spider here in a truck that had been imported from the USA! Why don't they spray them before they import them! YUK!
I'm always careful when I'm buying bananas in a shop now just in case anything nasty stowed away in the box.
Ugly little (and some not so little) things! Can't stand snakes!! YUCK!!
Holey carpe! We only have owls and sparrows in ours and I really hope it stays that way.
EGADS!!!!!
You really have to be watching all the time...Yikes!
You know when you have a western diamondback rattlesnake on your porch in Tucson, four firefighters usually come to your rescue and remove the critter. Big and strong Fightfighters :) So they do have their perks!
Okay folks, we've got to get a different perspective on this. Okieland has a yearly rattlesnake round-up, I think in the southwest quadrant of the state. then they have a bar-b-que. I've heard it tastes like chicken....do does gator tail (Florida) and frog legs. DrumMajor
Hey Drum Major, the Rattlesnake round-ups are statewide as far as I know. There is one near us and others just south of us, that I know of.
Sarah, if I could catch the horrid think, I would kill it, but it's one of those black racers and it moves like lightening. If i knew of any poison just for snakes, i'd use it, but I don't want my dog or cat to eat it....
