The infamous Headless Horseman has nothing on a vengeful rattlesnake. In a video posted earlier this month, a man can be seen trying to handle a headless rattlesnake in the back of a pickup truck in Coosa County, Alabama. The video - filmed by Kerry Forbus - shows her husband, Billy Forbus, trying to get the snakes body out the bed of the truck. Kerry had posted the video in the comment section of a WSFA post about another man who suffered serious injuries after he was bitten by a severed snake head.  According to his wife, Billy had been plowing in his garden when he saw the snake on his fence. He asked Kerry to bring him a shot gun and then he proceeded to shoot the reptile's head off.  Share this article Share Leaving it alone for an hour, he then decided to use a grabber tool to move the snake to his truck so that he could take it to his brother's house.  While he put it in the truck, the snake didn't move, Kerry asserted. Filming began once the couple got to their brother's house and Billy attempted to transport it. Billy and the snake go toe to toe for what feels like a long time but is only a little over a minute.  'It's still strong too,' Billy said in shock as he tries to grab onto it. At the last possible moment, the snake lunges at Billy who manages to move at the right second.  The movement spooked Billy enough that he had to come back to it later to remove it. According to Adam Cooner, a veterinarian at the Alabama Medical Center in Anniston, snakes have spinal reflex arcs that they rely on more than brain simulation. He added: 'Throughout the spinal cord, there are sites which control movement, so the spinal cord can function, to a degree, autonomously from the brain.  'That explains why the rattlesnake in the video is still writhing and moving despite the head being in less-than-ideal condition.'The strike is likely a reflexive response to continued pestering by the man with the tongs (Billy Forbus). The spinal nerves sense the direction the prodding is coming from, but despite how it appears the body doesn't 'know' it's striking a man.'Tyler Harris, the animal care coordinator of the Alabama Wildlife Federation described how snakes tend to act in a defensive manner when attacking humans. 'The closer you get to a snake, the greater your chances are of being bitten,' she said. 'If you stay away, you're safe. It's that simple.'
