Ken,
That is obviously not true in all cases because this bloke did not rattle before striking. The camera click obviously scared and startled him. As soon as the shutter fired he just lashed out backwards. Let me also tell you he was blindingly fast. Him missing had nothing to do with me jumping backwards, it was solely due to his aim being off as he struck blind going backwards. He could have even been asleep. He was certainly very still before I fired the shutter. Obviously they only rattle as a warning when there is time and they are attacking, not when they strike in self defense.

PS: I almost died twice. The second time when I got home yesterday and told my wife what happened with the snake
