Rattlesnake
This was the first rattler i killed so far this year. Walked out my garage and almost stepped on him. Scared the hell outta me. Hacked him with a garden hoe.
Mojave rattlesnake. 32" long without the head. The pictures dont show the color very well, but he is green. |

My next door neighbor has had snake problems and skunk problems, but in all the years I've been living here, I have never had a rattlesnake in my yard. A few bullsnakes that I caught and put down gopher holes, but that's it.

I kill a couple a year. This is only like the third Mojave I've killed. I dont mind the bullsnakes at all. I've seen some big ones lately. Around 6 foot.

Many times those bastards stretch themselves out along door thresholds and along the outside wall of your house and you walk right over/near them.
I had one inside my garden hose reel box and when i went to pull out hose i got the shit scared out of me when it started hissing and rattling

Crotalus scutulatus (common names: Mojave rattlesnake, Mojave green,) is a highly venomous pit viper species found in the deserts of the southwestern United States and central Mexico. It is perhaps best known for its potent neurotoxic-hemotoxic venom, which is considered the world's most potent rattlesnake venom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crotalus_scutulatus

You got to be careful where you show what you do. Mohave's are protected in some areas. An alphabet organization can cause much grief for dispatching one. I believe they are protected in Az and Ca. Don't know about NM.

Even the dry bites have a potential to get really ugly.
Hope she still went to the hospital. Killed three of the fuckers here so far (maybe). Last one wasn't a clean kill, he took a shot through the neck just below the head with my .22 pistol. He swam off, but hopefully to die a slow painful death. We have seven kinds of venomous snakes in Louisiana. My area has 6 of them. Always on the lookout.
