July 25, 2008 Another Rattler
- Another Rattler
As I was leaving for work this morning I encountered another Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. He was haning out next to my driver side front door, so I couldn’t really just ignore him and get in my truck and head to work. He finally mozied along, and I would have let him be, but he decided to take up residence in the bush next to our front door.
Since we’ve had bad experiences with snakes recently, I didn’t want to leave the house knowing her was there, and I wasn’t about to go into that bush after him, so I decided to call the Apache Junction Fire Department to handle it. We’re told by our home owners association that they are the ones to call…
When they got here they poked around in the bush with their “snake tools”, but couldn’t find the snake. So either he snuck out when I was on the phone, which I doubt, or he found a hole under the bush to crawl in. We’ve seen holes under that bush in the past, so that’s very possible.
I guess we’ll be steering clear of that bush for a while!
