You ever have one of those less-than-manly moments where something happens, you react and then embarrassed take a quick look to see if anyone saw you? I needed to go start the pump to lower a pond near the house, grabbed my muck boots and started to put them on just to find an enormous bull snake in the bottom of my boot. The reaction may have been less-than-manly:eek:

Okay, so saying he was an enormous snake may have been stretching it a bit, but really that's a deceptive picture that doesn't do his sheer size justice..........really. Would you believe I have freakishly large hands? Oh well ........................
 
I would be screaming right along beside you, then making someone else pick up the boots and burn them!
 
You screamed then picked the danged thing up and took a picture?

It's the surprise factor that got me, I'm okay with snakes as long as I know they're there. Come on, no one else has an unmanly moment they're willing to 'fess up about? And remember it wasn't a real scream, that weird cow elk/alarmed mallard noise is at least one notch up from screaming like a little girl.
 
I'll play...

While bowhunting muleys one day in mid Sep I had a 4' rattler take a snap at me. I saw/heard the snake just as it rattled when my foot was about to come down on it. I instantly shifted my foot to the left 6" and dove off to the left. As I dove I looked down and back at the snake just in time to see it pull its head back and strike at my boot, which was just inches away from it. I absolutely screamed like a little school girl! I was instantly panting and short of breath and was pouring sweat out of every pore! When I realized the noise I had made, I did exactly what the OP said- looked around to make sure nobody heard me.

Pretty humiliating...
 
Do high pitched curse words count? I'm like a terrified tourettes sufferer...they all look like rattle moccasins to me.

Make that two! My son and I were in the Yukatan last November and saw this Yukatan rattle snake. Pictures were taken from inside the car with the windows up.:D
