Now that I am out here, I know very little about rattle snakes. Do they just sort of hang out in the grassland, or are they mostly in the rocky areas? Also, are there any prohibitions on returning them to the great snake pit in the sky? Do they have a particularly active time of day or season? My little boy has no common sense or fear yet, so I worry about him finding one and poking at it when we go out into the wild spaces around here.
