Could it be a toad instead?
Back in my surveying days a timber rattler (skin on back of the bar) was ready to strike, but he didn't account for the shovel in my hands.No tree frogs but did find a small diamond back rattler inside the cabinet of my grill a few years ago. He wasn't the least bit pleased when I opened the cabinet door.
I needed a new pair of jeans anyway.

Wow! that's one good sized snake. The one in my grill was only about two feet if that long. But big enough to scare the crap out of me.
