the new vaccination for our dogs that protects against rattlesnake bites
It evidently also works for cats according to an article I read this morning:
...Now, a California company is marketing a rattlesnake vaccine, a preventive measure that can reduce or even stop the effects of a bite. The vaccine is manufactured specifically for dogs but can be used for cats as well, says the veterinarian who developed it... http://www.statesman.com/metrostate/content/metro/stories/03/5snakebite.html

I was lifting weights in my garage, on a sunny day, about 15 feet from the open garage door, when a rattlesnake appeared at the door and, dispite the noise I was making, began slithering into the garage. I pressed the button to close the garage door electronically, and fortunately, though it struck at the descending door, the snake moved outside the garage. I was cautioned not to harm the rattlesnake because it's on the endangered species list and the "environmentalist activists" will see to it that anyone who does is prosecuted.
Here's a good rule of thumb: If the "environmentalists" are for it, oppose it. If they are against it, support it.
These people tend to be petty bullies, who should be pushing mops and slinging fries--something they might be qualified to do--but who have gained power over other people far in excess of their wisdom or benevolence to use.
Needless to say, I now keep the garage door closed at all times except when entering or exiting.
Also, needless to say, I give no support whatsoever to "environmentalists" or their causes or charities.

Hmmm.
Grampa took me to a rattlesnake den on "Buzzard's Roost." Looked like millions to a young boy. Eating each other, slithering among the mounds of bones, and deafening echoes.
Hehehe, rather scary.

I have to agree with your hubby. Something about this story stinks, and I'd say that this dude must have been collecting the snakes and things just got out of hand. Or maybe he is just the unluckiest dude in all of Oklahoma! Although I'd bet cash money that he caught those snakes and was keeping them, and then made some silly mistakes and got tagged.

A rattler and copperhead in the same area? Unusual in my experience. Not here....We have at least three different variations of copperheads..Broad-banded copperhead, Southern copperhead & the Osage copperhead.
We have velvet tails..( Timber rattlesnakes..), some coon tails...( Western Diamondback rattlesnakes..) & a few Western Massasauga rattlesnakes, and the Pygmy rattlesnake too..!!
They can, and are found in some places together...or not too far apart. I have personally come across a copperhead and a velvet tail within yds of each other.
All...for what it's worth.

James Cave's wife Gloria says Cave was working at a garage near his home Sunday when he felt a pain in his foot and reached down and was bitten in the hand and foot by a pygmy rattlesnake. Gloria Cave says Cave then fell backward over a barrel and onto a copperhead that bit him in the foot and groin.
...and Jim Cave's friends have now nicknamed him "Lucky".
