Gardening: Calm and relaxing.
Shopping for gardening supplies: Not so much.
A customer was bitten by a copperhead snake while he was shopping Monday afternoon in the gardening section of a Lowe’s in Denver, North Carolina.
The 4-and-a-half-foot long snake was hanging out on a tree when it must have decided it had had enough of that.
The customer was taken to a hospital but the victim’s condition has not been released, Lowe’s told CNN.
The local fire department issued a Facebook warning, telling folks to watch out when shopping for gardening gear.
“This could happen at any store that sells trees,” the East Lincoln Fire Department said.
