Well, that’s not a good place to store your rattlesnakes.
Residents found this adorable yearling Western Diamondback Rattlesnake curled up in a shoe on their patio. They had a small child and cat that frequently played out there – just inches from where the snake was found. There were large gaps in the patio walls, providing easy access for critters, and the area was newly developed near the Santa Cruz River. Aleksa captured the snake and relocated to suitable habitat.
