DoryJM Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 As a parting gift for Shannon, she got to see a rattlesnake tonight. He was just off the steps going to the yurt...now he's in two pieces in the ground. A little too close for comfort, if you ask me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerstin Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Ohh, ha. Sounds as if you have adventures also at your yurt I'm happy that you've got him before he entered the yurt ... maybe he was just an artist snake and would only look at your fantastic quilts? Good luck for further adventures! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hmmm, Linzi didn't supply any snakes at her yurt. I'll have to put her son on it for next time. Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennan100 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yow! I do not do snakes! I can't even get close enough to one to kill it, my body takes over, and I've turned and started running before I realize it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbigailE Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I bet that snake becomes a hat band and a visual memory of Dory's yurt Adventure Camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carla Danczak Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Who slayed the snake - you Dory? I can't even imagine having that greet me as I walked out the door! I have a hard enough time with your basic garden slugs - snakes, no way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda G. Craig Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Monika, you are toooo funny! LOL! Yikes, a rattler -- RUUUUUUNNNN! I've never seen a real one and don't plan on it any time soon. You all just had waaaaay too much fun! :P:P:P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I hope you buried the head. It can keep biting at things for a while. And the body...well...it will slink away! she should have kept the rattler as a reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Sorry I don't have anything that exciting for Shannon when she gets here! (Did I say I was sorry?!!) Best she can hope for here is a pair of fawns foraging Den's roses! And those Giant Northwest Vampire Slugs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delld Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 The other night I actually remembered to turn the light on before I went out to he studio. When I came back in and it was dark!!!!! Right by the steps to the back door to the house was a rattle snake that was about 2.5 feet long. I stepped around him came inside got DH and he killed him. Man was I thankful I had turned the light on. I would have stepped right on him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Noooo, here in the South it is a badge of honor who has the biggest rattle snake. I have seen some huge monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 we took the kids to the pool yesterday (it is a pond really)...and near the edge of the water was a 18" bull snake. I wish i had a camera as the lifeguard tried to get the snake in a water bottle. it actually went in the bottle...then popped right back out! it was hilarious. all my kids wanted to keep the snake...but since we messed with it so much to get it away from the pool...we felt it best to leave it.

lisae Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Originally posted by DoryJM As a parting gift for Shannon, she got to see a rattlesnake tonight. Nuthin a Colt 45 wouldn't cure! Actually we went camping over the weekend in the high country and saw a couple rattlers. I was sure we'd run over one with the truck/trailer but when we went back on the 4 wheeler, he was gone. Made us wonder if he was wrapped up under the trailer somewhere! Nobody was willing to crawl under the trailer to find out!

skrat Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 How about this little guy!!!! He was 7-8 feet long and about 2.5 - 3 inches around. Didn't kill him, he is a bull snake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodlebug Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Originally posted by JustSewSimple How long was he and how many rattlers did he have? I would say he was about 3/ 3.5 foot long and I think he had 4 rattles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennan100 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 We get rattlers all the time in the buildings here at work. We are surrounded by open fields and they are all over the place. Water Moc's, too, from the couple a ponds close by. The guys kill them all the time. I think they are after the mice and possums around the buildings. Just hate snakes, they all need to just go away!
