Snakes

So me and my mom where walking today on the centennial trail right by the Trent bridge under the rail road bridge next to it. My mom was right next to the cement wall close to the shade. so as we were walking under the rail road bridge next to that wall I heard a hissing noise and a rattling noise and turned and saw a snake. so I said mom there is a snake and she pull me away as fast we could go. so we called 911 but I am my mom's kid and so of course I called 991 loll. anyway they said they would send someone to remove it. well so a man came by and we told him to stay on the left side that there was a rattle snake. so of course he had to look at it and he said it was just a bull snake. so when I came home I looked up bull snake and this is what it said
"The gopher snake (Pituophis catenfe, Fig. 2), also known as the bull snake, is found in warm, dry habitat—deserts, grasslands, and open woodlands. It’s a robust snake, measuring 3 to 4 feet in length, with dark blotches against tan along its back."
"The gopher snake is often mistaken for a rattlesnake, owing to its coloration and its impressive display of coiling, striking, and loud hissing. It will also vibrate the tip of its tail in dry grass and leaves, further mimicking a rattlesnake. However, it is not poisonous. It is a constrictor, killing prey—mostly small rodents—by squeezing them until the prey suffocates."(WDFW)

So we are not really dumb to think it was a rattle snake because it makes it safe sound like one. I also think that is really cool that a snake can do that. Any way I just want to tell you about your cool experience. Here is a picture of a bull snake.
