Rattler #1 for 2011

Last Wednesday, I got a call at work from Paul......let's just say he was NOT happy about the visitor on our patio....

When I got home, the visitor was still there, so we called our neighbor, Kyle in for reinforcement. Kyle and I went to the patio to get the snake while Paul stayed inside with the kids and the door closed (since snakes know how to open doors)..

We didn't think it was a rattlesnake at first, but after looking closer, it was a baby one...

I lifted in up onto the handle of a broom and then Kyle caught it in his 'trap'....


It was skinny, but long and pretty heavy.....you could tell that it had just eaten something....ick!


Thankfully, this guy will not be back as a big fat rattler to bother us again!
