in my yard? About 16-18" long...without it's head or tail....and was it a tail that rattled??
Yikes.
Can you tell what kind of snake it is by the skin???
PS hubby came home and looked at it with me. hard to tell from the picture, but there's a smaller piece of skin. It's from the tail. It was a rattlesnake. Hubby says they are travelers, they don't stay in one place. But I also know that they have territories, and never stray outside of approximately that mile. So he's around here somewhere, although I checked our entire property, and did not see him.
