I always enjoy your posts. I took the tour of your home area and the landscape slowly, enjoying the tools, flowers, dog, food and house. All poisonous snakes are far to the south of us, so far. Ticks have moved north and become the a major pest for some detectorists not far away from me.

Snakes are mostly nocturnal here right now because of the heat. Did kill a copper head last week in cattle trough though. Nice post.

That was a really nice post of pictures!
I've been very lucky to have seen no snakes all summer, but I do always wear snake gaiters when I hunt the desert and forests.

Rattle snakes are a common sight here, even in the exurban area. What I don't understand, are people who stop their car and let them cross the road! Me? I run over the slithery little buggers! On the opposite end of the spectrum, are the tiny blind snakes. They're seldom over 6 inches as adults, and babies no more than an inch.

August is the time rattlesnakes give birth. Half of all rattlesnake bite are on hand or arm, so be careful if you reach for something on the ground. They are very hard to see. I’ve seen people walk up and stop and the snake was in inches from the guy. Didn’t strike.

Did I mention half the bites are to males in their 20’s with alcohol consumption. A guy told me one swam up to their raft so they smashed it with their paddle. The snake was floating upside down on the water and one guy grabbed it to pick it up. It was still alive and bite him on the hand.

When I say they are hard to see I suspect some people will not take heed to this warning. Good thing is most bites are not fatal. Oh, just remembered that TV show about that doctor who treats snake bites. Some guy had his arm sliced open the whole length. Not a pretty sight!

If you are in snake country they can slither up on you after you think you have thoroughly searched the area.

Of course on hot days they are in the shade. Can’t see them as good.

I told a friend if you use a stick and hit the ground out in front of you sometimes you can get them to move enough that you can see them. So he was out fishing with some guys and told them about this. It wasn’t twenty yards later a guy stirred up a big bull snake that reared up to what seemed like about crotch high and hissed at him like a rattlesnake sound. The poor guy about fainted!
