Dave, It was already dead.... well, mostly dead.

That funny turn the body takes in the picture about 4 inches down from the head is where I whacked it with the shovel and severed the body with only a chunk of skin holding it together.

Not only that, I didn't take the pictures for nearly an hour and it was still rattling weakly and trying to bite!

It's only the second one I have seen on my land in 5 years. One on the front steps, and one on the front porch.

When I buried it about 90 minutes after I "killed" it it was still moving, opening it's mouth and unsheathing it's fangs.

Tenacious? I don't think I want to dig it up and check.

She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed as declared the interior of her abode a serpent free zone. This includes any and all serpent products. I just bury them.

This one looked like it had a recent good size meal on-board.

Two years ago we had a rather rude Gopher snake give birth right close to the house. You would not believe how small a crack or crevice those babies could wiggle through.

This is NOT a scenario I wish to repeat with baby rattlers.

I need to send you a new computer.

I tip-toed around all day saturday..... but the only thing that rattled was the change in my pocket.

Thanks, I already did that.

For fifteen years I walked some mean streets and nasty alleys and dealt with people meaner and more treacherous than any snake and I have the scars and lumps and broken bones to prove it.

We can discuss it further if you have the backbone to come out of the bushes and say who you are.
