Mojave Rattler / Musician???

Found this little critter on the patio of the Legion last night when I was leaving. My bar tender walked right past it. Fortunately it had cooled off a good bit and the snake was real sluggish so that probably saved her from being bitten. It is a Mojave rattler (The deadliest snake in the US) I thought the threat of rattlesnakes was over after all the cold weather, but it was an unusually warm day here yesterday so I guess it ventured out to find a meal.

Got a very good deal on this guitar from one of the legion customers. It had a broken string, but Pat O'Bryan turned me on to a new set so its good to go. I'll need to get a tuner though. This will make about the 3rd guitar I've owned over the years and about the 5th time I've tried to learn how to play one. I HOPE I have better luck this time!

    OMG!!! Thank goodness she was not bitten! Was it Melinda?

    That is one of the things I fear most about my future move to Terlingua...these awful critters :(

    How did you kill it? Because you did send it to snake heaven didn't you?

    No MsB, Donna was working that night. I didn't kill it its just a baby and is my new pet. Of course changing its diapers is a challenge though. ;)

    Nice pet to have around. Keeps the rodent population down and unwanted visitors away.

    DD, I think it ran off all the mice. Can't find any for its food now.

    Bigfoot, I'd call it Dead now. I turned it loose in the wild last night while the temp was 32 degrees and dropping. I doubt it could survive long since there wasn't any holes of rocks to crawl in to or under.
