The other night I was doing my 5 mile walk with Moscow on a poorly lit trail. As we were passing, a tiny snake came out on the path and lunged at Moscow. Being deathly afraid of snakes, I naturally let out a gasp/scream and dragged Moscow several feet away. Moscow tried to go after it as well, but I held onto him tightly.
I was so freaked out. For the rest of the walk I couldn't think of anything but where this snake would strike next. I thought snakes are afraid of people and animals? I don't know what type of snake it was, but it was about as thin as a pencil and about 8 inches long. Because it was dark, it looked black, but I'm not 100% sure. I didn't stick around to look for patterns either. What kind of snake would strike out like that?
I am absolutely certain that he was not on the path as we passed because I always look down to avoid stepping on earthworms (eww!). I'm afraid of walking that path again tonight.
