Found about a 13 inch rattlesnake in our storage closet here at work last Friday coiled up in the corner behind a softball (cute little bugga)... Was gunna kill it on the spot but decided to wait and show the co-workers... one wanted to catch it so we did... other went and bought it an aquarium on lunch break and he stayed in the shop-office all weekend... can't keep him at work, safety issues, so I took the dude home yesterday...

Now, I'd kill it, like I should have done in the first place, but the guy has lasted this long and it'd be kind of cold-blooded...

I'm thinking about letting it go in a very rural area, but I dunno, doesn't sound very responsible... then again, they're already all over the place here anyway...

Called the zoo and they don't take 'outside snakes' because they may have a disease (must've grown the ones they have now in a test-tube or somethin')

So I keep asking myself, "to the choppin' block with him? or off to torment baby field-mice until that second button comes along and the meal gets bigger?"

basically, WWSID?

Howdy BTW

Steve Irwin would look that snake face to face and say "Crikey."

put an ad on craigslist or ebay for it. I'm sure there's somebody out there who would buy it.

If that doesn't work, keep him, grow him, then grill him.

You could keep him and fatten him up, then take him to Sweetwater to the Rattlesnake Roundup and get 5.00 per pound for the guy...

Around here, snakes are indigenous personnel. Once they get inside the backyard fence, their life is forfeit (especially if they are venomous). If the Labs don't get them first, my pellet gun takes care of them.
