Hopefully not too OT, but in Texas many years ago Bill Crawford was invited to go rattler catchin' using mirrors to cast a beam of sunlight up under sandstone caves near the Trinity river. They had 3 ft catching devices--"just put a good stretch on them when they bow up and lock themselves into the crevices" his friend said. "They give out in a minute or so."
Well, he put the stretch on one, and while waiting for it to give out, (laying down up underneath the cave ceiling) another rattlesnake innocently crawled up under his warm chest and decided to stay put there for over five minutes--wonder how LONG that felt! It finally slithered off, and Bill said in his understated way, "well, that's enough of that."
