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. http://gfretwell.com/wildlife/Blacksnake2.jpg 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.-- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG.https://www.avg.com Probably still is. I have never seen a live rattler in the wild in florida. I think i might have seen a flat pigmy on the road the other day judging by its shape. There's some pretty big black snakes around here. I measured one shed skin at 4 feet. They don't bother me much as long as there is some distance between us. We have some around here. California is home to several varieties. Prettiest one I saw was a Pacific Coast rattler, pink in color, when I was a kid and buddies and I were in one of the big parks catching a garter snake for Audubon days in school. Mostly we have garter and gopher snakes locally. Had a garter snake living in the yard last year, but have not seen it for a long while. But the Blue Belly lizards are thick this year. Must have been a huge hatch as we lots of little ones all,over the neighborhood. Local hospital gets about 9 rattlesnake bites a year. Almost all consist of alcohol and young people trying to do a Clint Eastwood in two mules for sister Sara and out in the hills. |
