Snake bite last night - Watch your kids.

Post by burntlizard »

A 5 year old girl received a bite from a Rattlesnake last night. This happened around I-17 and Carefree Hwy.

Watch you little ones while hiking.

Personal experience tends to be a very effective learning tool.

Just a thought... maybe the guy thought he was Moses and the snake would turn back into a stick when he picked it up.

I'm just amazed Walmart offers something not made in China.

@Sredfield
Sounds to me like the kids need to watch the adults in this case! :sl:
