We lived in SE FL and I had a plant right outside the front door on a little table. It started to rain so I told my husband I was going to move the plant to the yard where it could get rained on. He being the gentleman he is offered to do it for me. When he picked the plant up and was carrying it a pygmy rattler jumped out and went after my husband. We were both at the door and it was headed towards the door. We slammed the door shut. My husband went to the garage through the inside of the house and got on the riding mower, and destroyed the snake. At that time we had dogs and we weren't about to take a chance that snake would go after them.
