It was a small one, about 1.5 ft long, about the size of a sharpie around, and scared the holy cr*p ola out of me. I was going out the gate to go to the neighbors house, and my wife had just said "why don't we drive since it is snake time"? I said oh no it'll be ok, lets just walk. WELL I guess I will have to hear about how I should have listened to her for a while now, since she was right!
Anyway I did not kill it (but I really wanted to) I called my neighbor and he came over and "wrangled it" and is going to take it to the wash tomorrow.
I KNOW we should not kill the rattle snake, but danged it, they scare the crap out of me.
I don't mind the other, non poisonous snakes, but rattlers I do not like.
Whew!
