Diamondback

What's 3 feet long, the diameter of a broom stick and rattles? The snake Ryan found in our yard the other night. He heard it when he stepped out on the back porch and found it curled up in the plants by the pool. It wasn't very happy to see us, but we weren't too excited to see him either. As I was looking on the internet for a snake wrangler....Ryan was pulling out his armory of weapons....1 BB gun, a paintball gun and a shovel. (Not sure what he was going to do with the paintball gun...probably just tick the snake off). Ryan got about 6 feet away, strapped a flashlight to the BB gun so he could see the little booger and then fired off one shot that hit the snake straight in the back of the head. The Kill Shot. Poor thing never knew what hit him. Ryan fired a few more times before he finally pulled the thing out of the bushes with the rake. He took it in the garage and spread it out. The rattle kept moving for about 15 minutes. A little creepy!
