But I've never seen ANY kind of snake since we moved back (or at any visit prior to that) and I'd like to keep it that way! Glad you've only seen two! Our daughter, SIL and grandson saw a Diamondback rattler trying to get a rabbit at the Sonoran Desert Museum once. They were not part of any exhibit, but were wild, and a crowd gathered around quickly. The rabbit got away.
