These were in my e-mail this morning; some pics taken by one of our crews yesterday. This is from the Apex area (industrial park NE of LV).

Definitely rattlers!. Pretty good size for that area I would think.
EEEEEKKKSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-O (I don't like snakes!!)
Here's what SHOULD be done with them. 😉
Keep them all there. That'll be just fine with me.
Well what do you expect when you poke it with a bar. I would not be happy too.
Ran into(and dispatched) a 5.5' footer a few years back surveying in Texas City, Tx. Ran in to him while climbing out of a ditch that I was cutting line across. Turned to the client rep, after I cut in half and asked him if they make snake chaps that cover my upper body. I normally do not kill snakes, except when I run into them face to face with them less than 4' away. It was more a reaction kill than planned.
Ugh. I've seen enough of those to last my entire family our entire lives. You can have them.
Was nailed by a boa as a teenager. The critter's mouth covered the entire palm of my hand. Wasn't poisonous, but definitely a memorable moment. Helped my regularity.
