Unfortunately, if bitten, their venom can make you very sick or worse.
It was a Timber Rattlesnake that reportedly bit a teenager at his home in Northport, near Lake Tuscaloosa. The snake was near the family pool.
Be careful outside this summer. And always keep an eye out for these Timber Rattlesnakes.
The teen who was bit just released to recover at home after being treated in the TSICU for 3 days. His arm is still swollen, but improving.

I prefer to relocate them with my boot, a hoe, or a shovel.
