If you are hiking anywhere, you should wear boots that, at the very least, cover the ankles for both support as well as to help ward off possible snake bites. Flipflops or tennies will give protection for neither. You should also wear pants, preferably of denim, that may offer some protection from thorns, rocks and even snakebite. Even if there are no venomous snakes at the higher altitudes of the Cascades, you will still pass through snake country on your way. Use common sense and dress appropriately when hiking anywhere.

The diamondback rattlesnake has several symbiotic relationships, primarily with ectoparasites like ticks and mites, which can feed on its blood but may also help keep the snake's skin clean by removing dead tissue. Additionally, it may engage in commensalism with certain birds or mammals that take advantage of its hunting grounds, benefiting from the prey it flushes out. In some cases, diamondback rattlesnakes may also be preyed upon by larger predators, establishing a predator-prey dynamic that indirectly influences the ecosystem.

The phrase "the angry child was a rattlesnake in a cage" metaphorically suggests that the child, like a rattlesnake, is dangerous and volatile when provoked, yet confined in a space that limits their ability to lash out. This imagery emphasizes the potential for harm when the child's anger is triggered, while also highlighting their confinement, which may contribute to their frustration. Overall, it reflects the intensity of the child's emotions and the risks involved in their expression.
