[quote=bearishgurl][quote=UCGal][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.[/quote]
Have you ever found a rattlesnake behind your property, UCGal?[/quote]
Yes. Twice. In our backyard. We back to a canyon – so it’s not surprising.
And a neighbors dog was bitten last year.
And to the point I was making… I don’t think most people would call Mira Mesa “lizardland”. But my workplace backs onto Lopez Canyon. We regularly see rattle snakes during the summer. And a baby got inside the building a few years ago (Picture from the outside – looking into a store room.)
