pAULETT, I love that black snake story- People think in different ways , don`t they... Now my neighbor killed a big rattler hanging out under his bird feeders-now I can`t handle that! I have black berry bushes, so I watch out when I`m around them.. There has always been yellow rattlers around here-must be a den some where..but I do know my cat help keep my yard clear of those kind because I walked out one day and there lay a dead copper head with claw marks straight down its body-apparently my cats didnt want to eat it..they like butterflys better.. Here lately my cats have had a bounty of locust, this is the 17th year-there gone now...
