I just had to do that this morning. Although it wasn't right outside the front door. When I get the chance I like to contain and relocate, but that wasn't an option this time. It was a Mojave, too, which I seem to get at least one of every year. I skinned it, chopped up the carcass and fed it to the chickens. Last year I found two huge western Diamondbacks in the chicken pen, only a couple weeks apart. The first was a full grown female full of eggs, the second was the biggest male I've ever seen (probably the daddy) and he and I had a showdown that rivaled The Battle of the Titans before I finally got the best of him. I have both their skins.Okay I have to brag. Also hope I don't offend anyone. My husband is not home, and I opened the front door and there is a baby rattlesnake just hangin outThe dogs were nearby and this snake was way too close for comfort. So I grabbed the flathead shovel and guillotined his head off! Don't mess with this pregnant lady!! Keep your eyes on the ground friends, snake season is upon us.
