Got these pics right after Katrina blew through.

I was under the house working on insulation and bumped into 2 of those. I killed one but was able to relocate the other. I'd rather have them than the mice, poison and all.

If I see anymore do you want me to catch them and you can come get them?
You are welcome to relocate all I have to your house. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

All we have are these little garter snakes the size of a pepperoni stick. No teeth, they just stink on you if you catch them. You can keep those mean looking ones.

With the weather warming up I've been on the lookout for the rattlers on my property. So far I have not seen one yet...but I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before they pop up all over the place. While boxblading an area in front of the future homesite, I uncovered a beautiful black and yellow California King Snake. They are very welcome snakes because the not only help keep the rodent population down, but the larger ones also kill and eat other snakes (like rattlers) They're immune to the poison. So they are my buddies up here.

I posted this picture before, but it amazes me everytime I look at it. It was sent to me via email and I think this snake came from the SouthWest somewhere...maybe Texas? How would you like to run across THIS one? (Not me in the picture)

HOLY CRAP !! That is a HUGE Rattler. That is the size of snake that I have nightmares about !!!

We have Timber Rattlers around here but nothing near that size. Not to mention it is very stiff fine if you kill one. So the 3 "S"s apply when you see one.

Shoot
Shovel
Shut up

YEAH, even though it's a phoney picture, it still gives me the willies when I see it!!! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Why did you post that picture when your post talkes about nice snakes. I wanted to see what a good one looked like, not one that gives me nightmares!!!

As scared of snakes as I am I would not do anything outside if I had to worry about rattlers, copperheads, and cottonmouths. I have heard that their is cottonmouths on our nearby lake but I have yet to see one thats why I still go back. We have black snakes that get pretty big and thats bad enough.

I did the same thing, I wanted to see the picture of a good snake and see a giant rattle snake photo.
I also didn't realize there were some states that protected rattlesnakes.
