The King died in '77. The same year I graduated from high school.

I know many folks who feel the same way. I have had several 'pet' snakes including a Burmese Python. Bought it as a 6 week old 'baby' about 18 inches long and weighting only a couple of ounces. Two years later it was about 13 feet long and weighted in at 87 pounds. I was just a kid (16 years old) and living at home so once it reached that size by parents made me get rid of it. I found it a great home w/ a herpetologist who had half his living room glassed off for his other pet snakes.
The python I had never bit anyone, never even hissed. Very gentle snake. It liked being held – liked the body heat. It was a tropical snake and maintaining the correct temperature and humidity level proved quite a task.
Other snakes I’ve owned have been very cross-tempered and would hiss and strike and bite if they got half a chance.
Wild snakes are best left wild. Venomous snakes should not be tolerated around areas where people and pets frequent (houses, front/back yards, etc.).
Rattlesnakes are dangerous but they are docile as compared with copperheads. I’ve seen a copperhead come after a friend of mine, until he shot it. The weird thing about it is rattlesnake venom is more potent than that of copperheads.

...and as they climbed to the top of the hill, the girl raised the cellphone to her ear, and said:
"Can you hear me NOW?

You're right--it musta been 1977!!!!! I was an idiot graduate student slopping around barefoot in a creek at night. The King must have put in a good word for me with the snake.
Being in Tupelo the night Elvis died was a really interesting experience. Half the town was up crying in bars, watching TV.

>> his buddies growing up around there avoided those hills like the plague because the land is literally crawling with rattlers this time of year <<
Yep. Rattlers den up for winter. In the spring time, if you see one, there are others you don't see.

I'll bet that was interesting. I visited Graceland a couple of years after he died and had a fit of the giggles at his grave. Thought I was gonna get arrested.
Glad the King looked out for you with the snake!!
