...well, not really...
We have a friend who lives in an area that is known to have timber rattlesnakes. He had some friends stop by his place, and they saw this snake. He wanted it moved to a safer area, as his "neigborhood" is seeing more and more traffic, in the form of cars, dirt bikes, four-wheelers, etc. We were glad to oblige. We're going to keep it until after a venomous snake program at the local nature center, and then release it further into the wild.
As you all should know, if you hold a snake (and fishermen know this about their prize catch) away from your body and closer to the camera, it makes them look MUCH bigger. This particular animal is about 4 to 4-1/2 feet long. Nice coloration, a male, and has been eating well before we got him!

Glad he opted to have it moved instead of taking a shovel to it!
