Halloween Trick or Treat?

Bay_area · 10-31-2007, 07:48 PM

I guess it is how you look @ it. I got a call today that someone up in the Berkeley hills had a bunch of snakes in their garage & wanted someone to get them out of there for them. So I call the person & he said there was a bunch of baby snakes in the garage yesterday & would like to have me look it over to see if they are still there because he is a little frightened to go back in there now. The person lived up, up, up above where Cal Bears football stadiums is, @ the very top of the hill.

This is what I found in the garage

baby rattlesnake #1

#2

#3

#4

#5

The mother rattler, makes 6 total

So I say trick for him & treat for me...LOL!

Nice haul, Jerry. Will you keep any of them?

Maybe #3, Al Wolf from reptile rescue will pick them up next week.

it's a good thing they called you and not somebody who might have killed them

Oh wow. Is momma protecting her babies in that last pic, or are snakes kind of like, hey, you're on your own kids....???

Good job on recovering them safely, and keep us posted!!!

most snakes are more the "you're on your own, kids" types, but there are some species that bestow some care and protection upon their offspring
I just at the moment can't remember which ones, even though I just read about one of these species (something venomous) just a couple of days ago
I am so tired right now I keep feeling like I'm gonna burst into tears any moment for no reason
and I'm at work, and you guys are the only thing keeping me from keeling over
