Rattlesnakes

[Mountain Times Editor]

Many residents have recently seen rattlesnakes. I just wanted to take a moment to mention that they are around right now. I heard that one of the Beamus employees was bitten by one. At least 2 have been seen around the pool area.

If you see a King Snake, please do not harm it. California King Snakes eat rattlesnakes.

Those gopher snakes look really similar to the rattle snake.

You can see photos of the snakes on the following web page:

We are entering into Rattlesnake season, my wife saw one yesterday, it was baby one. She saw it on the trail coming down from the water tower. Keep in mind when walking dogs or young children www.marvistavet.com/html/body_rattlesnake_bites_in_californi.html
