This is soo cool! You get some of the most fantastic opportunities there! Another reason for me to consider moving to Cali.

opportunity, noun: chance option, lucky occurrence, etc.

We found seven this spring in our new home - three this size and four big 'uns! We 'relocated' the little ones and 'removed' the big ones...we've got three cats and they were all too close to the house for comfort...If they come to our notice we'll deal with them but no one is out hunting them

The aggressive one was an adult...not the longest, but, boy was it thick! I, too, am much more aware of where I put my feet and when I'm gardening I use longhandled tools to prod around FIRST!

I like them too, 'tho not the rattlers quite soooo much...
Thanks for the faves

Those are great photos! Thanks for pointing them out. I LOVE King Snakes - I fostered one for a while once. He was the best snake ever - so docile.
You are welcome, too. I love your gallery!

OMG!!! I am not a huge fan of snakes, but his patterns are beautiful. He is so small, but I bet he can protect himself pretty well. I'm glad your husband found a new home for him elsewhere.
Since he is in a jar, did you have to take the top off to get this fantastic photo?

Yes, the lid is off - but I was using my 300mm lens anyway

BEAUTY-full colouring ruth! think maybe cuz new/baby/fresh? even the jar looks cool! *.* my dad came in one day feeling kind of sickish and my ma saw 2 little black holes in his leg! i guess diff x of year/age = diff amounts of poison... i agree tho... none = the best! around here we have a $40/yr helecopter-ambulance insurance thing? you might want to check into... tho maybe in the 20 min it would take you to call get them to come and then go somewhere you could already be in town taking care of bizness! gak! i don't even like to TALK about it! (superstitious knock knock *.*) ...

Yeah, we realized that we need to find out where the closest emergency facility is...don't even really know WHERE our doctor is - only that they're down in Folsome.... I do know where the closest fire department is

Love the markings and the texture.. nice colors too.. Do be careful w/the gardening though!

Oh, yeah!!! HEAVY gloves and long handled pruning tools!!! And boots!

It's very beautiful - tho I'd be somewhat careful, especially on a Friday 13th!

Well, all the actual work is done - just the maintenance now...pruning and watering so hopefully that's still enough activity to encourage them to slither elsewhere!

Yes, fortunately they don't like any disturbance.
BTW there is only a small number of fatal snakebites in the States, I remember 10 p.a. out of 7000 caused by venomous species.

'Though we did decide we'd better learn where the nearest emergancy medical facitity is...our doctor is about 20 miles away...

Oooo, love that PC word..."interesting" can cover soooo many emotions
But, yea, it really is an interesting place - lots of new experiences!

I'm not too keen on it either, but the alternative is not to have a garden...they live here (in the area) and hopefully will soon recognize that we live here now (the house was empty for about a year) and will move on!

In the mean time, boots on when you go into the garden !!

They're very beautiful.. but I don't think I would want them around my yard. Be very careful!!

I agree, I don't either, and I will be!!!

This little bitty thing wouldn't have enough to bother with! Now the other...that one was big and FAT! We thought about roasting it but the idea came after it had been dead for the day...
