I’m totally happy that such people exist who enjoy getting this type of work done.

‘Merica is still a pretty great place, if we can keep it.

Just don’t tick ‘em off and keep ‘em out of the liquor cabinet and they’ll be OK.

You, however, may want to imbibe a bit.. as you pack hastily and vey carefully, then vamoose..

I only saw about 6-7 for 13 years on my desert property. The guy that bought the land from me remodeled and pulled out 40-50.

I usually try to keep our screen door closed but one evening not many weeks ago, it was left open. I opened the front door to take the dogs out, and froze, as did the young pom pup next to me. As did the rattler coiled on the door mat and ready to strike.

The snake hesitated just long enough for me to grab said pup by the tail, and pull back sharply while slamming the door on said snake. Pup was so surprised I didn’t even get so much as a growl for pulling his tail. Unfortunately the rattler disappeared while I was looking for the snakeshot rounds. We hunted for that guy for a week or so but once satisfied it wasn’t hiding around the house, and had likely headed down the hill for wilder spaces, I relaxed, a little, but I still open the door slowly. I”m very thankful he was coiled on the mat where he could be seen instead of hidden behind the boots kept by the door we would have walked past. I’ve had four rattler encounters in the 10 years of living in the desert - two rattles are on my fireplace, two got away, but this one was the closest encounter by far.

To dispell a myth that Calif rattlers won’t cross gravel - yeah, they do. Our front is graveled 10’ to the driveway because we thought that, too. Not only did this guy make it across the gravel, he slid up 5 concrete steps to get to the welcome mat!

“Sonoma County Reptile Rescue”

You can't make this stuff up. Only in Calfornia.

In other states, normal people rescue dogs and cats.

Chlorine and ammonia and lots of it then take a short trip and do it again and again and again and again then burn the house down.

"Exciting"?

An air strike was in order, with snakeyes and napalm to make sure.

When Wolf first went under the house, he quickly found seven snakes and returned to his car to get special gloves.

Which I take as meaning he usually does it bare handed
