susieq: I am glad to hear that you are protecting the snakes. They are wonderful animals and help with the control of pests. I have always loved to see them in their natural environment. Two weeks ago I was collecting stones in Murphys CA. I was digging in the rock outcropings which are the natural area that rattle snakes that live around there. There are quite a few in the area and all the time I was watching closely for a snake. Everytime I put my hand down in the hole to remove a stone I was sure that one was in there. Luckly I did not see any but it goes to show that we can even get along with the rattlers if we pay attention and stay out of there way. Keep protecting the snakes in your yard, I think it is really smart on your part.
