Woman Freaks Out When She Mistakes Baby Rattlesnake For Dog Toy

After a relaxing evening in the hot tub with her husband, Carla Rosso was cleaning up after her dog, Duchess, in the backyard when she got the surprise of her life.

She was picking up Duchess’ “rope toy”, not realizing that it was actually a baby rattlesnake! Her husband, Ariel, shared the surveillance video of the moment she picks the serpent up only to shriek a second later when she realizes what she’d picked up!

“If you are going to pick [up] your dog’s toy in the dark, make sure it’s not a live rattlesnake!” Ariel said on the caption for the video, which is now going viral. “Thankfully my wife Carla was not bit, but she needs to work on running away skills!”

The couple told news channels that at the time they were terrified by the accidental encounter but later couldn’t help but laugh when they saw how she reacted on the surveillance video.

Watch her reaction in the video below and share it with your friends.
