[quote=bearishgurl]Navydoc, I see you’ve relocated back to SD and are enjoying your new digs w-a-a-a-ay out in lizardland 😉

You don’t have to be in Lizardland to get rattle snakes… Just have to back to a canyon.
I live in UC – and we get the occasional snake in our yard.

Prior to owning our dog – we’d relocate the snake.

Now that we have a dog – who might decide to go after the snake… We would kill it.

Haven’t had a snake recently, though, so that decision is moot so far.
