I can only hope I never run across
that one's brother or sister, or, God forbid, his Daddy or Granddaddy.
It was beautiful, though....a perfect predator.

I wish I didn't have to kill them, which I do only around the clearing. Walked close past a Pygmy rattlesnake a few days ago and almost didn't see him on the rock driveway. Smaller than the one that put me out of commission for a few months about twelve years ago. Pygmy rattlers are small but nasty poisonous. Need to get cats to keep down the mice.
