Rattlesnakes

Beware of Rattlesnakes! Living in Southern California can mean a risky confrontation with a venous rattlesnake. Rattlesnakes are most active in Summer and Spring. They mate in the spring and give birth in the Fall. Also, beware of baby rattlesnakes as they are just as dangerous. The baby rattlesnake may not know how to control the amount of venom injected and may inject all of its venom. While some rattlesnake bite may be "dry" it is always recommended to treat it as soon as possible. Killing rattlesnakes should be avoided and simple steps to avoid them is the best solution. However any rattlesnakes near your home or property should be exterminated or removed. Always have a professional do this for you. Putting yourself in harms way is how most bites occur.
