A small price to pay, my friend.
If you haven’t figured it out already, I don’t care for snakes too much – venomous or otherwise.
Yeah, about the last thing I want to do is grab a rattler with tongs. That just pisses them off, then you gotta let them go, somewhere, somehow.
Just-B—I am curious . . . doesn’t your state have a disclosure law that compels sellers to disclose problems like this before a buyer buys the house? And did the previous owners disclose this problem to you pre-purchase?
Expecting a house in Utah not to have rattlesnakes is kinda like expecting a house in New England not to have water in the basement. Might happen. But more to be expected than not.
Just-B,
Thanks for the reply. It helps me understand your situation better. Personally, I have eight grandchildren and I would have been irate with the previous owner if he/she did not disclose this info pre-sale . . .oh well, looks like I’m not going to Utah anytime soon. LOL
