Rattle snake

This was a very small rattler.  The post it's coiled up against is just about two inches wide, if that.

We were warned to be aware of rattlesnakes, and this one really surprised us. We didn't know it at the time but it had not only killed a young ground squirrel that we found nearly, it had bitten one of the dogs. Yikes! After a run into a veterinary hospital an hour and and a half away, she was given anti venom and recovered fully.

    Thank you, Paula. We were really worried about the little dog, and yes, that was a very little snake. What saved the dog was that the snake probably had already struck the ground squirrel baby, and only hit the little doggie with one fang. It still took several hours to figure out what happened because the dog has epilepsy, and the owner thought she had just had a seizure so put her inside on it's bed. very scary.
