Would be good to have one of those California Kingsnakes around right about now to take care of that Western Diamondback Rattler.
Not gonna lie...he met his demise with my shovel. We have a deck right in front of where he was by our front entrance. We have 4 dogs that go in & out that entrance. Not sure how long he has been hiding under the deck but leaving him or relocating him was not an option.

He would have met the same demise with me but I would have pumped some lead into him and not gotten close enough to end him with the shovel. 😂 I've relocated all kinds of snakes but after seeing someone close get bit by a rattler I won't mess around with them.

yeah we have seen different friends animals get bitten by them. Not a pretty site. I am with you about giving them lead poisoning. I just didn't have one with me.

13 Pro Max. It is a nice phone for sure, I really like air drop with my iPad and the battery life but camera is my top priority
