Rattlesnakes at Pawnee

[cfortune]

I was thinking of trying to get out to Pawney and shoot this weekend. This thread made me think that might not be such a good idea. The sight of snakes makes me feel light headed.

I've never seen a snake out at Pawnee. I mean, I'm sure they're there, I just have never seen one. There are HUGE spiders though.

i saw 5 snakes on our road yesterday. And while fencing I saw a red,white and black snake. I looked it up. Its either a milk snake or a coral snake. Either way, there goes a year off the end of my life.

Awesome, if you see it again, you should catch it.

You should put bells on all of them.

Last time I went up to my land to look for snakes, I couldn't find anyway. Maybe now is a good time to go up there?

I saw a glimpse of one of those in my back yard one day. It darted under a flower planter as I darted into the house to change my drawers.

I need to spend more time outdoors. I've lived in Colorado my entire life, and seen exactly 3 different kinds of snakes here. Millions of Garder snakes, 2 rattlesnakes, and 1 Bullsnake (I think. It was about 5 feet long and I picked it up.)

Oh wait, I ran across another Bullsnake (I think) while I was running once. He was WAY to angry and striky for me to pick up though.

One is poisonous one is not right? The one pictured is non-poisonous the red/yellow is? I havent seen them in a long time cant remember.

I think the poem is:

Red next to Black, friend of Jack. Red next to Yellow, kill a fellow.

Yeah, that's right, check it out here. Milk snakes are cool.

Red and yellow kill a fellow.
