a buddy and his boy found it while hunting today.....Montana changed its laws in 2004 and the local prairie rattlers are the only front fanged legal to keep.....refused to have dangerous venomous in the house while the girls were here but now that they are gone i had hoped.....beer can is there cause Gene wanted it for scale while he grabbed pics....warned them when i left the house that even that lil guy could put them in the hospital....

she knew i was a snake guy when we started dating....when we moved in together i brought 8 snakes with....had over a dozen at one point.....always wanted to keep rattlers but i refused to have them in the house while the girls were around but Kate graduated high school and Jess is with her dad in Iowa now so i thought i could talk Darla into it....

Cute animal! I found one that size while out shooting one year, thought he was dead at first because he was laid out so flat... then he ran for the nearest bush.......
I'm a snake nut too, and hope to get to the point I can handle venomous snakes in the future, but I'm not there yet....
