In the desert southwest:
1) You never kill a rattlesnake 'cause they kill the desert rats. And the roadrunners kill
the rattlesnakes.
2) We vaccinate our dogs against rattlesnake bite - doesn't work in all dogs, but it is
an additional layer of protection.
Kitty - I almost picked a rattler up in the desert thinking it was a piece of hose - DUH - what would a piece of house be doing in the desert. Ran the rest of the way home 'cause I was sure he was chasing me!
