Default Hero of the day

A baby rattlesnake got into our house this morning and Sherwood found him and barked until Julia came and saw it. I was in the early voting line and had to help her virtually kill it. Fortunately, Sherwood had snake avoidance training so he recognized the danger and did not get bit (as far as I can tell). It was steak night tonight and he got generous helpings.

Moral of this story. Snake avoidance training works and is a must

Those baby rattlers can be worse than a grown one! I'm glad all turned out well.

Looks like a timber rattlesnake.

Hmmm, I thought it looked like a pygmy rattler.
But I don’t live in the South and have no experience with them whatsoever.

Looks like Julia left some flat spots on the snake. Every time I see a snake in the yard I wonder what it's doing out of the house.
