Don't tell me you crossed valencia and let it go over there so it will cross the street back and get run over thereby rendering you liable for it's death and subject to lawsuits from the PETA types.
[:D] We had our first one a week or so ago and I saw three a month ago at the golf course. |

If you sharpened those blades every once in awhile, that thing would cut with far less pressure on the grip. [:D]

They have been coming out of everywhere here. I have caught about 5 in the past 2 weekends. Mostly Grey Rat snakes and a couple of Pine snakes. That explains the lack of rodents and field mice out back. These were all nice healthy snakes. Moved them further back on the property into the woods. Last Thursday one of my moms dogs got tagged on the snout by a nice fat Water Mocassain. Got her to the vet and she's fine now. Snake got away. Probably snuck back into the woods to the creek behind their house. Will probably go see if I can find him this weekend. I personally prefer to relocate snakes rather than kill them, as they are excellent pest control. However, the poisonous ones dont get as much leeway as the non. If its poisonous and doesnt co-operate VERY easily with relocation attempts, it gets to be made into a belt. Unfortuantely for Water Mocassains, they tend to be very grumpy and aggressive, which doesnt bode well for their relocation chances [;)].
By the way, Steve Irwin is COOL! Any man that can physically wrestle a Crocodile is NOT a man I would want to mess with! |

Snakes are cool (non-venomous ones anyway). I miss my old Python... had to sell him to appease the little woman.

The only good snake is either a hat band or a pair of cowboy boots. Nothing cures a snake problems at the range faster then a benelli and some #4 shot. ____________________ Edited cause I suck at typing, especially with this new ergonomically correct keyboard. |

The Rifle Club in Boulder, Colorado has a big sign with their range rules painted on it. Number 10 reads something like:
10. No shooting of wildlife on range property (rattlesnakes excepted). |

My son has an Arizona Mountain King that is one of the most beautiful animals I've ever seen. We also have some lizards (used to breed Bearded Dragons before the prices went to hell) and 5 tortises living in our back yard. To me, one of the best things about living in the desert is the abundant wildlife. |

There was actually an episode where Steve Irwin looked genuinely scared. It was the one where he got the call that Terri went into labor. Man, I thought he was going to piss in his pants.
And the look on Terri's face when Steve brought the film crew into the delivery room? Absolutely priceless. |

Cool. I haven't seen a rattler around here, yet, this year. Caught a couple of garter snakes a couple of days ago.
I've been actively hunting bull snakes for the last couple of weeks, with no luck. I need to import a few to the yard to take care of some rats living in the bushes. |

I haven't seen a rattler in a couple of years. I guess that means I need to get out more. The last one I saw had tagged my parent's Great Dane on the nose and my father was throwing it a beating with a shovel. The poor dog's nose swelled up like you wouldn't believe but after a trip to the vet and a liberal amount of benadryl, she was fine.
