There are a lot of opportunities here to become part of the food
chain.



Not nearly as big as the one in John's link but Mrs.E. came home to
our house in Jupiter, FL one day to find a 4 foot diamond backed
rattle snake coiled up in the entrance to our house.

It's the reason I bought a shotgun.

Also had those "pygmy" rattle snakes usually as nests in brush and
construction debris.

You need more black snakes. They tend to run the rattlesnakes off.
A black snake will eat a rattlesnake.

That's OK. You can keep all your rattlesnakes, black snakes,
fire ants and wild boar down there. :-)

We have rattlesnakes up here but they are very rarely seen. The
"Blue Hills Reservation" here used to be infested with them.
