11. When I was in Calif

We used to get rattlesnakes on occasion. I had a "snake bucket" with a lid. I would pick them up with a rake, put in the bucket, and put the lid on quickly. Then take them to the backside of my farm, and turn them loose.

Only had to kill two...... One insisted he was going to be having my little blind barn cat. The other one hit one of the Mini-Doxies, and he died overnight in the emergency clinic. That one lost his head the next day, when he had eaten something so big he got stuck in the fence. He was 5 ft at least.

The one in this clip doesn't look poisonous. I thought at first he had his head in the can looking for something to drink. How in the world did his tail get stuck in there?

I like snakes. I have to save my husband from them though.
