An Arizona TV station reporting on Colorado snakes with a California snake removal company and two colleges, one in California and one in Pennsylvania.

Wow, that is one big multi-state, multi-snake project.

Cute guys..... I am a reptilephile. I even had a pet rattlesnake as a kid.

Of course...l Have eaten my fair share of them when they get too close and aggressive. But for the most part they give you a big warning to just ‘shoo’ them away.... Id much rather have a couple snakes on my property than over run with pack rats and possums. Heck, I even had one in my irrigation pond catching the koi someone dumped years ago.

I ran across these guys in Monte Bello Open Space Preserve (CA Bay Area) last week. They are Pacific gopher snakes. They look like rattlers, but have smaller heads and the heads are not as triangular.

At least I THINK they aren't rattlers.
