Re: [RC] CA rattlers - Jody Rogers-Buttram

That may be so, but there is no meaner snake than the cotton mouth.  I have
seen them take on a bulldozer before...chasing it.  My hubby shot one swimming
in the swamp one time, didn't kill it, it thrashed in the water spinning, holding it's
head up out of the water about 8 inches or so....when it saw hubby standing on
the bank, it locked eyes on him like a target.  That sucker started swimming right
at him...he shot it and killed then.  They are mean, they don't move out of the way,
they are short, fat and ugly.  I have seen them with heads as big a hamburger, but
wedge shaped.  I HATE SNAKES.

Barbara was right about the Mojave rattlers, however, according to this,
they're the most dangerous in the United States, not just CA.  YIKES!!
I always thought it was the Diamondback.  Learn something every day,
thanks Barbara.
