One of the kittens had a baby snake out on the back porch the other night. Tinier than the "copperhead" I took a pic of during the summer, but still a snake. Ew. Mr. Diva smashed it with a hammer. Double Ew. Frankly I'm tired of the snakes we're experiencing this year. 3 at the house is 3 too many. Girl, you and your snakes.

You use the shovel to chop the head off. I would never have the nerve. Snakes just freak me out, even tiny garter ones. Our puppy learned to sever the garden hose yesterday. She decided it didn't need a sprinkler at the end anymore, and had so much fun, the hose now has 4 ends. Linn Okay, I googled it. You use the shovel to chop the head off.

Not something that I would ever do. I would have done the same thing you did. Shot the guy with my camera and leave! -Brenda I remember my Dad killing a rattler with an irrigating shovel.

Do you aim to chop it's head off, or just wildly chop at whatever you can hit till it stops moving? You must have a firm strategy by now, and developed your own technique. You seem to have a lot of confidence out amongst them. Linn How do you get close enough to whack the snake with a shovel without it striking you?

I've spent the last few days out here on foot. There were people on the ridge watching me as I left. I did look in the back of the pickup - and there was a shovel. I chose to shoot it only with the camera. Anyone who knows me - knows that this was one lucky rattlesnake. But I thought that I'd spook the fencers. Or maybe get locked up for killing the thing in plain sight of witnesses. Jim - That part of the "road" is wonderful. mtpolitics - Chicken. Thanks David - It's called zoom. PC - If I'd known, the fencing crew would have seen how handy I am with an irrigating shovel. Bonnie - you know me better than that! Bonita - I know, if I had my old OM-1 with the long lens - it would have been a better photo. Mr. HK - What?! Kirk - That was <B>bad</B>. Babs - I know - but do you know how deep those ruts are? My weapon of choice is a shovel, I have used an ax in a pinch. Okay - I’ll be honest. I’ve spent the last few days out here on foot. There were people on the ridge watching me as I left.

I'd say that was close enough Moos! Ya know, you were in one big weapon. I once ran over a big fat water moccasin that was laying across our driveway. I was in the car with my two baby boys and my MIN and no other weapon but the car. Yep! I’d say that was close enough Moos! Ya know, you were in one big weapon.

Although if the fellow in question is like his Arizona counterparts, the Diamondbacks (our baseball team, not the reptile), you'd have nothing to fear--the Sankes just finished a home series with the Metropolitan Baseball Club of New York (which is the actual name of a team most folks call the New York Mets) in which they were outscored 36-10 over the four losses. In fact, the club was recently given custody of a child who had been suffering from severe physical parental abuse--on the grounds that the Diamondbacks couldn't <I>possibly</I> beat anybody. ;=) <B>Kirk</B> ("I'm melting!!!)
