I am...Clairz - GREAT research, write-up and links! I am also concerned and have been warned by locals about dogs running into rattlers. <BR/><BR/>The dozer operator was not fond of snakes at all. In the course of work, he had once dozed through a winter den with swarms of rattlers in it and not inclined to socialize with snakes thereafter. <BR/><BR/>My apologies for messing up your direct comment. It was bound to happen; I finally hit 'reject' instead of 'publish' and lost several comments. I was able to submit it myself with post data material but if you like, do send it again so that it retains all its links. <BR/><BR/>It was just announced that my evening generator time is coming to an end (unless I wish to stay up and go out to shut it down myself later ... NOT) so I will be back for a longer visit soon!Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100999113439449482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-76635951150012886722007-09-28T19:17:00.000-06:002007-09-28T19:17:00.000-06:00Good grief, we just have a little old fenced yard ...Good grief, we just have a little old fenced yard that is all nice, short lawn. I'm hoping there aren't any snakes out there. When we lived in Las Cruces we used to take our dog out on the desert all the time. I'm sure plenty of snakes saw us, but we didn't see them. Just a matter of luck. <BR/><BR/>I know poisonous snakes are a concern for dog owners. I've heard about snake aversion training for dogs. It just sounds kind of creepy, for both the dog and the snake.clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-39705527212330562332007-09-28T18:35:00.000-06:002007-09-28T18:35:00.000-06:00I'm not really afaid of snakes, we routinely kille...I'm not really afaid of snakes, we routinely killed rattlesnakes when we lived in Texas. And I have heard in Santa Fe at 7000 feet elevation we might not have many. I guess I worry most about my dogs encountering snakes...they have never seen one before. Do you watch your dogs very closely to make sure they don't encounter a snake and decide it is something to play with?Towandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245494480579308875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-77742286552396618072007-09-28T16:06:00.000-06:002007-09-28T16:06:00.000-06:00Well, you know they're here and I was hoping that ...Well, you know they're here and I was hoping that having more knowledge about them might help. But NO, I had to find out that bull snakes are active during the day.
