Snakes ‘fighting’ before NC family’s cookout proves to be mating session video shows

Doh!

"
“My daughter came running in the house and said: ‘Daddy, you have to come outside and see this, there are two rat snakes fighting’,” Rinehart told McClatchy News.

I’m no wildlife expert, but they didn’t look like they were fighting to me! Of course, I also have young kids, so we didn’t say much about what we were seeing. The kids assumed they were fighting and I just let it go.”

I can sorta understand their confusion, since rattlesnakes shove each other's upper body area when fighting too and they might have seen that somewhere before,
but ya gotta pay attention to both ends, lol. Nothing like amorous visitors to your BBQ....
