Oh, yes. I also saw the rattles on that baby - recognized it as a rattlesnake right away. I'm a pretty tolerant guy, as green as the next guy, and very appreciative of the service that snakes provide, but the poisonous guys (who are definitely a minority here) get dispatched. Too risky to allow them to hang around...grandkids are awfully close to the ground. Love to have the blacksnakes, king snakes, garter snakes, etc. around, though.

Harold,
Good eyes, I couldn’t make out any buttons, and still can’t. Oh well!! That diamond shaped head can also be found on a hog nose. Not identical but close, especially when you step on one in the garden <G>.

Having had visitors like that here, I learned to check the tail. When the tail end is round and has buttons, Rattlesnake. Diamond shaped head is another very good clue it's a rattlesnake. Last picture clearly showed buttons and end of tail.
I was interested in what kind of tool was being used to lift the snake?

That's a real cutie. Can't tell from the picture, what kind of slithery friend is that? We have encouraged both hog nose and bull snakes to hang around out here and knock on wood have never had anything poisoinous.

Migration time at Roberts Backyard. Don't worry we relocate each snake at two different places.
