    I am a sucker who can not say No to an animal in need.

    bcr229 and Boger,

    You are both way braver than I am. Cute yes. Danger noodle? Yes!

    Seriously, not my kind of noodle, but way to go bcr229 for helping with him. Not many could or would.

    My "problem" is that I'm way too comfortable with rattlesnakes, after living with them for so many years.

    And btw, that's how I got into rattlesnakes too..."couldn't say no"!

    This is the first one we've kept, but we've actually been removing wild natives safely from people's homes or businesses and transporting them to more appropriate and safe locations for a few years now. So, we already had the equipment available to handle it safely.

    Definitely a no-touch noodle though.

    But they make great burglar alarms... I was pretty sure this isn't your "first rodeo"- thanks for all that you do.

    I think if I had the expertise for a hot, I'd have a hard time saying no too because so few people are in a position to do that. What a gorgeous boy. Glad he is in good hands and hopefully his owner doesn't take forever, it's tough out there right now.

    Actually this one is totally quiet but he's been in shed since we got him so he's been hiding in a quiet corner of the enclosure. We'll see how "buzzy" he gets afterward when he's feeling more lively.

    If he's been a long-term captive, he's used to human room-mates & no longer feels so threatened. But being in an unfamiliar home, you may get more of a rise out of him for a while once he sheds, I agree. Most of the ones I kept (with very few exceptions) mellowed out- that's why I said they made "good burglar alarms" because it was things (people) out of the ordinary that they rattled at.
    But either way, I'll enjoy your updates...
