 Own It and Move On
Location: The edge of no where | I HATE snakes.... Hubby makes fun of me, but I feed several feral cats so that they will hopefully hang out around our yard at night. Neither of us can stand chickens, and our dogs are house babies. |

| While bartending for a dude ranch here in AZ, I put my hand under the fridge to retrieve a baby snake. I thought it was a gopher snake since I had just seen one. Well the head Wrangler walked into the kitchen and freaked out on me...(thank god) anyway I went back to tending bar minding my own business when the Wrangler brought me a gift in a Tea jar. A baby rattler snapping and striking the flipping glass.
"here you go, now you have to work all night with this mad as a hornet snake until you learn your lesson not to put your hands in dark places..."
The tourist LOVED it... I had nightmares for a week.
"How do you age a Rattlesnake?"
"Well there's this grove down the legnth of it's fangs...I think it's a galvane's grove but I never get to look because i'm too busy ****ing my pants to tell." |

Ha ha ha ha,,, I bet you dont reach into dark places anymore after that,lol. Out here I am always checking twice befor I reach under something. And another thing I really hate and they hurt like the dickens when they sting you is those darn Scorpions.
I'm a native Arizonan and I have only seen a handful of snakes in my life and maybe a dozen scorpions. It's not as crazy at it seems out here. Or I'm just really unobservant. LOL |

  You just got to get mean and mean it.
Location: Arkansas | Many years ago, while stationed at Ft. Hood, we lived in Gateville, Tx. in an up-stairs apartment. The couple below expected family for a visit. So, the week before, they srayed and sprayed and sprayed for bugs. That week, I killed a large scorpien on the wall above my 2 month olds baby bed. We moved within the week. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | Southtxponygirl - 2014-04-03 9:03 PM Bibliafarm - 2014-04-03 8:06 PM I have had so many close calls with rattlesnakes , 2 water moccassins and a copperhead. I saw a fawn grazing when I got out of my truck in the side yard area by my woods and I walked over in flipflops.. out of corner of my eye I saw about a foot away if that in a sandy area a huge rattlesnake. all coiled up. I think i surprised him for he didnt rattle asap or id have heard him. I think I lost a few of my heartbeats though that day. I jumped and ran and got my camara.. took a photo then went to grab my pistol and he was gone.. Then one day my Lab was with me by my creek and she jumped in and i had to help her out it was steep.. went to reach down and all i saw was a cottonmouth wide open.. I dont like be surprised at all. 
So are the rattlesnakes getting lazy? LOL |

Born and raised a Texan and I have seen plenty of both. Been to a few of the Rattlesnake roundups and you will will see tons of them. I dont do them anymore, I feel bad for the snakes, I know I'm weird, but hate seening all those snakes that or going to be killed for the fun of it.
Now if they are a threat then I have no problem killing one. Now the Scropions I kill them all, I HATE those things. They are EVIL.....LOL.. |

This same ranch also offered rattlesnake nuggets as an appetiser. Don't ask. |

So I have to ask about the scorpions how bad is the sting? Do you have super lethal ones or just ones that hurt like a bad spider bite? We once had a big black king scorpion at the pet store I worked at but his sting wasn't bad. |

Oh they hurt like He** and the sting will last all day, they will give you a weird taste and my lips will get a tingle and get numb if its a bad sting. These Scropions like the sandy soil and we have plenty of them during the summer months. |
