rattle snakes

Question
i recently moved to kentucky and hear there are rattlesnakes in the area. when i said i should not walk around in the dark unless i have a flashlight, someone said these snakes are hibernating in holes or rocks and wouldnt be just lying around against a building, even in a secluded dark corner at the entrance to a building. is this likely true?
thanks.

Answer
Greg, the chances of you dying from a venomous snake bite are less than your chances of being killed by a meteorite impact.  Do not waste your time worrying about them.  You should not walk around in the dark w/o a flashlight because you might twist your ankle!  LOL  Have a great day!
