Your diamond backed rattler does have a beautiful outfit :) so thank you for the photos, though I am glad you didn't stay too close!

Hopefully only one but more had been sighted next door.<br /><br />My approach to gardening was make a lot of noise in the hope that it would slither away somewhere safe for both of us.<br /><br />Winter now, so maybe hibernation time has arrived.<br />Julie's Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03816311317960631640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-60416698687095658732013-06-04T08:36:57.495-04:002013-06-04T08:36:57.495-04:00When I saw the first photo I thought it was poison...When I saw the first photo I thought it was poisonous. They are short, fat and they have a definite sort of neck...where the head attaches to the body is smaller and the heads are relatively big.<br /><br />How do I know this? Experience. I live in the woods.<br /><br />I can't say I hate them because they do kill mice but I do hate sharing any space with them. The 20 m radius sounds good!<br /><br />Enjoyed your post very much and will be back for more. BTW, many cats will keep snakes away, at least to some extent. I haven't seen any poisonous snakes here in awhile - only a black snake.David Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260130060172457192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-42985649562476173132013-06-03T18:36:06.089-04:002013-06-03T18:36:06.089-04:00Hey, I finally did the Where I'm From thing yo...Hey, I finally did the Where I'm From thing you suggested!Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-48749429021540005152013-05-25T17:53:22.078-04:002013-05-25T17:53:22.078-04:00I love snakes and he's a beauty, but rattlers ...I love snakes and he's a beauty, but rattlers are dangerous.

I can (nearly) see their beauty, but they make my heart race. And, as I said on Dee's snakey post when we had a snake (venomous) living under our front steps I stopped using the front door. You are very, very brave. I would need a telephoto lens before I could take a snakes photo. And even then my hands would shake and blurr any photo I did take.
