Rattlesnake-Any of various American pit vipers (not to be confused with Dodge Viper which is much better looking) of the genera Crotalus and Sistrurus, having an interlocking series of horny rings at the end of the tail that produce a rattling or buzzing sound when shaken. Highly poisonous.

This week we stumbled upon a rattlesnake, one of the dangers of living in the back country of California, close to the house. Being the outdoorsy type we handled it in a calm and deliberate manner…..

When the ear piercing screams stopped, someone had the bright idea of dispatching the small but deadly varmint to the great hereafter. Well we can now tell you that it was seen somewhere outside of Memphis with Elvis and the Loch Ness monster. Here are some pictures of after the great deed.

The rattle was kept to scare guests and relatives who have stayed at our house for more then three days.

One last view.


This article I assure you is 100% true. But for the safety of the writers they are using assumed names.
