California woman Carla Rosso had just hopped out of her hot tub when she spotted something laying on her driveway.

"Oh my God, I can not believe my wife grabbed that thing with her hands", Ariel told KTLA while rewatching her terrified reaction caught on camera. It turned out to be a baby rattlesnake.

- A California woman is spooked, but okay after accidentally picking up a rattlesnake that she thought was a dog toy. So I let it go and for some reason I thought it was still on me.

She dropped it immediately and high-stepped out of there in a hurry, with her dog way ahead of her.

The whole thing was captured on surveillance video. Ariel recalled hearing her yell. They called Los Angeles County Fire to help out and firefighters destroyed the snake.
