I leave them alone out away from the house, but if they come in the corrals, barn or yard (or house!) they lose their heads.

(12,132 posts)Light sockets that blow up bulbs way too fast?
Because it seems like my kitchen light blows it's bulbs every month or two...and it has ever since we had our kitchen redone...is there something can be done about it?
I think the electrician the contractor used was incompetent - we've already had other fixtures replaced he had put in - one bathroom light completely died...and the switch out on the patio has never worked.
We got screwn.

(55,026 posts)but I went ahead and replaced it to a simple bulb holder with no switch since there already is a switch on the wall in the barn.
sometimes it can just be a loose wire or screw, but you know - so much stuff is just CRAP nowadays, cheap made-in-china plastic garbage
I have two-bulb sort of dome light in the kitchen - one side seems to blow a bulb every few months and the other one seems to go for years. I have no clue what its problem is.

(55,026 posts)but if it is a rattler it is full of venom just like an adult. my youngest was bitten at 18 months by a hatchling. in the house. he took a helicopter ride to Tucson and 12 vials of antivenin - hence my lack of tolerance for them around the headquarters.

(53,661 posts)Biggest I've seen looked nearly 8 foot on a neighbor's place. Glad the little one recovered...
We had some people life flighted from where I lived and one lost a leg. Their behavior with cattle, hens and dogs wasn't any better, either. Although I had a dog that was great for corraling them until I came out to take care of them.
I'm sure you've got nests of them somewhere.

(32,097 posts)Rattlesnakes are live-bearers. They also have slit-shaped pupils, instead of round ones.

(32,097 posts)It was a canebrake rattlesnake, and it was about the same size. And, it's head was as big a my fist, too. I'm lucky I saw it when I did. I was on the job, and temping for a federal agency, and working at a federal installation. Had I been bitten, the paperwork would have been hell.
