Awwwwww. Look at the little baby........

RATTLESNAKE! My dog found this little fellow on my porch! I put the dog in the house then went after the snake armed with a yardstick and a plastic coffee can.

The snake was a baby about 15 inches long.

I'm a wimp and I don't feel that he should be killed just because he's a snake. I got him mad enough to bite the wooden yardstick! Then while he was biting it I picked up the stick with him hanging off it and ploped him into the coffee can. I then put the lid on (which you can see in the pic) and taped the lid on.

I then took the buzzing and rattling coffee can up into the hills in the Jeep and let him go. He went jeepin!


Sorry bout the poor pic quality. I was trying not to get bit.

He will be much happier out in the hills. I dont kill stuff unless theres no other option. If I woke up to find him in my tent then ya he's done.

So did he bite that lid? Looks kinda dimpled.

Naw I poked holes in it so he could breathe.

Judging by the lighting, the ozone hole must be right above Apple Valley. Better put on SPF 3000.
