Re: [RC] Snakes - Rosalie Marley

Ah, that makes sense.  I used to live in Sunland (S. California) and rode the 
Sunland trails.  Certainly some of the snakes were obnoxious, but most seemed 
to just want to sun themselves on the trail.  I rode over the top of one 
without realizing it - my horse took a really big step and kept going, I heard 
the rattler and looked.  I don't know how many times my dog passed very close 
to them with no problem - it wasn't til we moved here that he got his first 
bite (and it was on the leg).

Those are found on the southern deserts, I think.  I saw one while riding
with Jackie Bumgardner at Ridgecrest.  They call them Mojave Greens, and
they are said to be the most venomous of all rattlesnakes.  We don't have
that kind on the central coast of CA.  I'm not sure just what variety we
have here.

I think in California you have Mojave Rattlers?
