They Crawl Among Us

.

Some people find good in everything, even rattlesnakes. Only thing good we can think of is producing anti-venom.Bites are rare, but life-threatening. This specimen was hanging on a fence post at dumpster site 11 near Zaidee. (Photo sideways to fit our format.) It's a time-honored local custom of hanging dead snakes, but this one shows that we're facing hard times, as the snake killer kept the meat and hung only the skin.

If you have an interesting snake tale, share it in comments below. The biggest, scariest snake, or what a rattler is good for. Bring your snake to town, and we will make it's picture, dead or alive. You know where the Sign Man's signs are. The phone numbers are on the front door. Call if nobody's home. Game, fish and interesting vegetables also are good subjects. Bring the kids, too.
