it was a baby rattler, it bit her on the end of her finger, as she was gardening. The fangs got stuck on either side of her middle finger so i could not get away, and it ended up dumping all its venom into her hand. My mom got the snake off and looked around and our neighbor was getting into his car to go to work. She yelled out to him, he came killed the snake, grabbed it and my mom and took her to the hospital. She was in there for 7 days, and they cut open the back of her hand about 5-6 times to help with the swelling, her hand was huge.
