About 2-plus feet. I just gently evicted him out into the sunshine. The old snake we had around here unfortunately got caught up in a rat trap kept in another corner. Looks like I'll have to establish a rapport with the new guy.

Hmm, I think I'd rather have a cat to take care of the mice... I wouldn't want to walk into my shop and have that thing snap me on the leg.

One positive thing about 'Cash for Clunkers' is that it took thousands of Obama bumper stickers off the road.

That's what I like about the Yukon, no snakes or skunks except for Tory politicians.

You're a braver or crazier man than I to willingly share shop space with a rattler.

Actually, I've had good relationships with all the rattlers we've had here over the years. They've always let me know if I was getting too close. And with two very outdoorsy cats (and one wuss), there's still room for the snake(s) here. Tom

Best is a good ratter live pushstick. You could also train a dog, use that cute pink thing you just linked to, or a pellet gun.

My neighbor told me a story (which I'm not sure is true; the guy is pretty good at embellishing) about being with a friend when they killed a rattler. My neighbor was getting ready to cut the rattle off as a souvenir, but his friend stopped him with a "WHOA!" He stepped on the snake's neck and cut the head off first, then said "Ok, now you can get the rattle". As soon as my neighbor started cutting the rattle off, the snake's body reflexed and the bloody stub where the head had been hit him right in the calf.
