Would the Joe Biden rule work on snakes in town?

Would the muthafukin Joe Biden rule work with muthfukin snakes on a muthafukin plane?

Its that time of year again boys and girls.... Rattlers are out and about.

My son was just watering the trees that are in our yard. A rattler squirmed out of a tiny hole(less than a quarter size) right by him. This was less than 10 feet from our front door. Well now the snake is chop suey. My shovel slices and dices, it is made by ridgid but thinks its a ginsue.

but thinks its a ginsue.

So it thinks its a COAR-15 Moderator? Sorry, had to say it. The little ones are nasty quick little buggers huh?

We've got stupid little garter snake out front somewhere and the wife is hysterical. Can't imagine if it was a rattler, she'd probably burn the house down.

When we lived in Lakewood Alyssa would always catch the garter snakes.

In Florida, we had all sorts of nasty little snakes pretty much everywhere. I was not a fan. Mostly Moccasins. When I used to kayak, they would be draping the banks and swimming with me. Between them and the gators, I did my best to not capsize.

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.

I can only comment from my experience. I've run into 2 rattlers... both on Lookout Mountain in Golden while I was running Chimney Gulch trail. Both instances happened in August. The first time I was running with my dog at about 7am and took her off leash as the single track is difficult to run with her. A buddy of mine was in front of me and stopped dead in his tracks as a rattler was coiled up in the middle of the trail trying to warm up in the sun (they are slow and lazy in the mornings). Sure enough my dog ran over it and by the time I called her she ran back over it again. Needless to say she was on her leash the rest of the run. Second time was about mid-day and going around a switchback a rattler was half on/half off the trail. Luckily it was the non dangerous end of the snake and I just took a wide path around it and kept going. I hardly take my dog on trail runs in the summer time anymore, just don't want to risk it. I've heard that dogs (if small - average size) have about 1 hour to get them to a vet before things get tricky. Just be careful in low grass, brush and rocky areas... which is most of Colorado .
