Angelo Owens , 9, came face-to-face with one of the most venomous snakes in the world on Wednesday. 'Yeah, it was in the corner,' Angelo said about the four-foot diamondback rattlesnake. 'Scary, it had me shaking for a while,' Alex Owens, Angelo's father, said about the encounter. Angelo was hanging out in the backyard of his grandmother's house in Longwood, Florida, when he spotted something in the corner.'I thought it was a stuffed animal,' Angelo said.
You could hear it two to three houses away — it was loud,' Alex said.It was Bob Cross, Central Florida's renowned critter catcher, who wrangled up the rattlesnake. The Owens family says they know about wildlife in Florida. They've seen coyotes, foxes and even bears, one of which got into their garage. But a rattlesnake? Grandma says that is where she puts her foot down. Fortunately, Angelo didn't put his foot down in the wrong place. 'He's a lucky boy.
