\nReptile Rescue.  You can call him any time 24\/7 and he will come and
\nremove\/rescue your snake or reptile.<\/b><\/o:p><\/div>\n

\nHere is what the UCSB says about Rattlesnakes  <\/o:p><\/div>\n
\nThe rattlesnake’s role as an important link in the food
\nweb far outweighs its potential danger to our well being. In fact, rodent-borne
\ndiseases are probably controlled to a great extent by rattlesnakes and other
\npredators. Offer them respect, observe them from a safe distance, and then
\nleave them to perform their valuable ecological function.   Most
\nrattlesnakes have relatively weak venoms when compared to the world’s true
\nvipers and cobras\u2026<\/o:p><\/i><\/div>\n
\nRattlesnakes will make every effort to avoid contact
\nwith people.<\/i><\/b> Humans are far more dangerous to this secretive animal
\nthan it is to us. Many bites are the result of someone trying to capture, kill,
\nor handle the snake, and a good number of bites occur to snake keepers, both
\nprivate and professional. The bite is a defensive reaction and should not be
\nconsidered an act of aggression. The rattlesnake’s rattle offers the snake a
\nmeans of communication, designed to warn larger animals of their position.<\/o:p><\/i><\/div>\n
