Another venomous friend?

NOT! I have to draw the line somewhere. It's bad enough we have a scorpion. Tonight we get a call from our cousin around the corner who had found a snake in their driveway. And since we have frogs, coyotes, rabbits and skunks around these parts, of course we are going to have snakes too. Steven headed over to check it out and sure enough it was a baby rattle snake. Nice! Those things are more venomous than adults. When they bite, they do not know when to release or when to stop releasing venom, which means large amounts could bring a person to death sooner making getting to a hospital fast crucial. And my husband is running around the corner to get this thing - crazy!

I took some pics of our very temporary friend who was safely released in a very open field where he is sure to catch some yummy field mice.
