I sent that link to the first guy, which he appreciated. The second woman just wanted it gone, she was all skeeved out it was funny. I told her "aww it's tiny!" she was like "Oh my god it's huge! It's like 2 feet!!" I said, "don't ever come to my house LOL". She was a good sport, I made sure I told her it was harmless. I think the only venomous species in MA are copperheads and timber rattlesnakes...but they are much further north and west I believe. We're right near the RI line. There is a website called MASnakes.org that has an "identification guide" that's pretty useful. We really only have 14 indigenous species for the most part, so they usually aren't too hard to ID, for me anyways lol. I love calls like this :D
Re: I love my job sometimes...
Good job I hope that kind of thing happens in arizona when ppl call in. I hear a lot of stories of bull and gopher snakes being killed on sight in fear that it is a rattlesnake and if only they used common sense and looked at two major things on the snake tail and head no rattle skinny head not venomous real easy no question about it
