Snake Falls on Woman Mowing Lawn, Then Hawk Attacks Her

[bcr229]

This poor woman! She's on a tractor mowing the grass, a snake falls on her arm and grabs for dear life, then a hawk tries to retrieve its dinner (the snake) and tears up the woman's arm.

Wow. What are the odds?

She should play the lottery!

You know you're having a bad day when..... That poor snake, he almost got away- and that woman's arm is SO shredded!

BUT, I call "bunk" about the snake being venomous- the venomous (TX) snakes cannot wrap on her arm as described- that had to be a constrictor, most likely a hapless rat or gopher snake (either is big enough to hang on as described). The "venom on her glasses" was probably the woman's sweat, or perhaps saliva from either. After all, it was a pretty bad day for everyone except the hawk.
