Be alert! Wherever you are!!!

If that's an eastern diamondback, I guess I was looking for the rattles, unless Roy has already removed them for a keepsake. Googled Florida snakes and it says the northern Florida rattlers have a more potent venom that those in the southern part of the state.

Bob,
That was a diamond back rattler. Had 5 rattles and the button. They are standing up toward the camera in the picture so you can't see them very well.

And, NO, I have no desire to keep the things. The snake received a burial courtesy of the green tractor.

Mr. Roy the way that gravel was torn up, I thought you shot him with your shotgun.

She's coming with me to DSCF in '13... I can't stand snakes !

When Jim Foose sends me a weather report in the winter, I just shrug it off and put another layer on. But I lived in FLA before they invented AC, so I KNOW he is jealous that it's 71F here at 9 am on the last day of July.

Don't know what they give you for snake bites now, but I was pretty allergic to Horse Serum back then . Luckily the only rattlers around here are very scarce and I think they are protected or endangered. Take me to court if I cut the head off of one with a square shovel .

Don't ya'll have exploding trees too??

Tim, that was Roy's wet spot

Glad you got him before he got you. Hate snakes.
