And on the food topic, rattlesnake is good we get plenty around and will butcher them.

I like the nonvenomous ones also. We had bull snakes move in and they seem to keep the rattle snakes away. I'm not tryin rattle snake meat, no way no how.

If you visit Phoenix, they serve it at The Rustler's Rooste at the Arizona Grand resort at South Mountain. I've been told it tastes like chicken.

Here is the picture of the weasel that lives at my house. He wandered into a live trap for piney squirrels. I noticed this summer has been very quiet, no chipmunks or squirrels incessantly chattering. YAY for weasels!
