Talk about terrifying!
An Alabama man who shot a rattlesnake got quite the surprise when the headless snake tried to attack him after he thought he had killed it.
Billy Forbus told WSFA-TV he saw the snake when he was working in his garden and shot it.
He then put it in the bed of his truck to show his dad and brother.
About an hour later, Forbus said the snake began to move again when he grabbed it with a tool.

Adam Cooner, a veterinarian at the Alabama Medical Center, told WSFA that reptiles can survive with extremely low blood pressure and levels of oxygen.
“The brain can continue to function (after being severed) for hours in some cases,” Harris said Cooner explained. “Saying that those bites are reflexive is probably inaccurate: the snake is probably conscious and in agony.”
Two weeks ago a Texas man was bit by a rattlesnake he decapitated in his yard.
