    LOL. I've thought of that as well. But if she did have rattlers, there'd be no way of getting around it, the b/f would want one

    We're about 2 hours from Lake Geneva, near Janesville, WI. We'd pass through Lake Geneva on our way to the Bristol Ren. Faire when we went years ago.

    Janesville is about an hour from me. Well, pretty much exactly an hour from me coming in on the North end off HWY A.

    Re: Eastern Fox Snakes

    Being C.B it should do well, most W/C don't aclimate well since there preferred diet tends to be frogs & fish and a heavy parasite load, however don't waste your time trying any of these on your C.B. I've found they don't like being excessivly hot (watch for them to endlessly crawl and snout rub, thats your clue), and so be careful of feeding overly large meals, they need to be able to break them do and digest fast. They're active cycle seems short as well. W/C's have to do everything, eat , breed, lay and fatten up for brumation all in about a 4 month window. When I worked with these, it was'nt uncommon for them , including Captive raised ones to quit feeding by the first of October. I've found them to be quite a low keyed snake, even when we collected them in the 80's, I don't think I was ever biten by one we grabbed and collected.
    Hope this helps
