This is a cool picture I thought I would share with everyone. It was taken on my grandmothers farm in Lower Alabama several weeks ago. I guess they weren't going to let the Rattlesnake get any further.

And you can’t really begin to appreciate happiness until you’ve known sadness. Once you’ve walked through the valley, the view from the mountaintop is breathtaking"

Hmm, I've seen that picture somewhere before...

 

My Guineas circle snakes just like that, only they take turns lunging at it and pecking/clawing at it from every direction. The snake doesn't know who/what to strike at. Eventually it's pecked so badly to the point that if I do not go dispatch it myself, it slithers off and never comes back (probably/hopefully dies).

You've probably seen it on E-Bay. My uncle that took the picture uses it as his Avatar.
