As some of ye may know, I am a bit of a snake fan used to keep and breed them in the past. Now here out in the sticks there are some to be found so I tend to take a forked stick along with me on my walks and in the 3 weeks that I have been here I have so far found a Eastern racer, last night I caught a Northern ribbon snake and in the first week here I saved a copper head from the neighbours lawn mower. 3 different snakes in as many weeks Really happy about the ribbon snake yesterday as they have not been reported in this area so far and are on the endangered list. Sorry that I don't have pictures of them, but I am cronicaly right handed and holding a rattle sanke in my right and operating the DSLR with my left hand would be just be asking for trouble. But if you are interestd, have a look at this page. http://www.paherps.com/herps/snakes ATB |

You should come to North Central PA in June and go to the rattle snake hunt near driftwood. They also catch other types too and have bagging contests if your into that. I used to go to that, but not for awhile. Medics are on hand for that and someone always get bit. I live in SW PA. Paul |

The thing is, that they tend to kill the snakes that they catch and I like them way to much to do that, so would not join in on that account. See I rather have a few snakes round the place then having to put mouse and rat traps out to catch tem pesky rodents. ATB Michael |
