I was sitting on my chaise lounge over at the pool. There were about 50 people around the pool, playing volleyball in the water, in the pool swimming and some just sitting around but no-one near me. I had my beach bag sitting beside me. I went to sit up and saw a SNAKE about 12 inches from my bag, heading away from my bag. It was about 4 feet long and big. You can well imagine my reaction. I screamed, ran, screamed, cried, screamed and screamed some more. People tried to chase it by pouring water on it and finally some guy picked it up by its tail and took it to the fence surrounding the pool and let it go.
A very kind man came up behind me to comfort me and put his hand on my arm. Well, I screamed again and jumped. He felt really bad. I was a mess to say the least. Apparently it had diamonds on its back but Bob says it wasn’t a Diamondback rattle snake – go figure – I think he is bullshitting me.
My thought was that the thing must have probably been under my chair or around my beach bag as it was not going on an angle but very STRAIGHT!!
Nice welcome to the pool at Mountain Brook Village. We've been coming to this area for at least 6 years and this was the first time we used their pool facilities (second time this week). Yikes!
I think it's interesting that the thing didn't go to anyone else in the pool area - I think I attract them.
