Walked out to the shop a few minutes ago and this guy was out there in front of the door. I went and got my iPad and he had moved off to the side for me when I got back. Looks like he just ate something.

I usually see the small rattlesnakes like this one in the spring and early summer this is the first little one I’ve seen this late in the year.

Yup definitely got that fresh mouse gut. Is that a Southern Pacific species?

What is he, about a foot long? 

About that, I’m not going to measure him.

yeah, ol' Buzztail can be very attractive....until he fangs you.  Then he's not near as much fun.

Love snakes. Always have. Used to catch Michigan rattlers often as a kid. We don't see them much anymore.

That is because some freckled face kid caught them all, about 35 years ago.

Mom made me let them all go. And wash my hands.

Moms are like that.

She had the same look on her face when I walked up with a snake in both hands as she did when I fell in the fire. Horror, I believe it was. Lol

I understand the arguments for allowing them to hang around and control the vermin, but geez that fellow would make a gorgeous hatband!!

That skin sure would look good with the limba wood on my cart. 

 

Just kidding.  I mean it would look good, but you probably aint allowed to kill him.  I'm sure the politicians in california have them on a protected list just out of professional courtesy.

I dropped him off at my doctors office this morning, he relocates them and he told me that they are protected and he said it was only a month or so old.
