Re: Snake skin
It's an election year - they are everywhere! (LOL)
About the only time I can remember a snake being aggressive was a coral snake that I saw coming down my driveway and heading straight for me on my front steps. This was in Seminole County - about 80 miles away from TV.
Rattlers don't attack - they respond to perceived aggression against them. I had a terrier that was bit because he charged where the snake was (in the woods, under a bush), with both going after the same mouse. I've never had a rattler make a move towrds me unless I was moving toward it and I came into it's circle-of-range. Like any critter, if cornered, it will defend itself.
Shedded skin is a natural occurrence. When it becomes a concern is when you find one in your garage or behind the bedroom dresser, and that's when to get a pest remover (no, they don't do in-laws). Many of the humane societies have folks on a list that perform this service in a safe manner to humans and critters.
