Rattlesnakes scare me
This drought is getting bad. I was standing under a tree soaking
it down with a full stream of water from the water hose when I noticed a little rattlesnake about ten inches long making a run for the water. He was moving fast. I killed him with a stick and cut his head off. After watering I picked him up by the tail and it was moving all around. I dropped it and it was moving forward just like it still had a head and was going somewhere. It was big enough that it had some little buttons on it's tail. Last year, mid April I killed a pregnant female rattlesnake. This is only the third rattlesnake I've seen and killed in 26 years at this house. I hope we get some rain soon. The water well is pumping almost non-stop. Fires are breaking out everywhere. Coyotes are drinking out of the stock tank. I surprised a skunk at the marsh last week and it surprised me. It was stomping around in there like it was having a good time. I hope no one complains because I killed that rattlesnake. When they hang around the house, they're gonna die. -- |

Sounds like a pygmy rattler, bad news around the house, they tend to have
the most aggressive behavior of the family. "Mysterious Traveler" wrote in message ... This drought is getting bad.

No rattlesnakes or poisonous snakes around here but I would kill them too. I removed a garter snake, about a foot and a half long, and a black snake, over 4 feet, from my yard this week. Took them about half a block away across the road. My wife is afraid of snakes and would have had a fit had she seen them. |

About a month ago, my neighbor told me something bit both his horses that have been grazing in my pasture. One of the horses died. The vet didn't know if it was a snake or a spider. The wound on each was in the chest area. -- |
