Sheriff Harley here with another culprit on my
“Top Ten Most Unwanted List”. These dangerous
criminals can hang out pretty much anywhere. I
have had one in my garage and several on my
patio. My Deputy, Ms. Mickey was snake trained
and she alerted me, well actually my Dad, to one
down by the cement pond. Please do not try and
engage these unsavory characters, report any
sightings immediately to your parents and high
tail it out of there.
RATTLESNAKES
Aka:
Diamond back, Mojave or any of the 17
rattlesnake species native to Arizona.
Last seen:
Summer evenings after sunset or warm spring and
fall days.
Danger:
Curious or aggressive dogs confront snake, get
bitten. The venom causes tissue necrosis and
sometimes neurological symptoms.
Prevention:
Do not let dog run ahead of you on walks.
Consider Snake Aversion Training. Ask your
veterinarian about the Rattlesnake Vaccine.
