Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Other hivemind question.
Okay, no, actually, a billytea question: The county doesn't do snakes, so my dad would have to get a professional pest control person with reptile experience in, which obviously he wouldn't want to do unless it was absolutely, definitely rattlesnakes and not any kind of mimics. Is this phone camera picture even remotely identifiable?
Snaaaaaaaake! Snaaaaaaaake! It's a snake!
JZ, I'm getting a "content unavailable" message there--not sure if we're not FB friends, or what.
Me too.
I wanna see the snake!
Okay, one more longer one, and then maybe I will go do something useful with my vacation day.

SNAKE. (also fixed the linky up above)
Yep, that's a snake.
(Sorry - my snake knowledge is rather limited.)
Wow. That is a SNAKE. When I read 'baby-snake', that is not the image that popped into my mind.
Mad PROPS, JZ for keeping your cool.
Wow. Difficult to say - I mean, I googled and apparently gopher snakes use their resemblance to rattlers as a defense.
We need a "What is that snake?" website to answer this sort of question.
Mad props to getting a picture of it!
JZ, I'm leaning towards gopher snake only for the sake of the shape of the head. Rattlesnakes has the more spade-shaped head of a viper and your dad's photo looks more like the elongated shape of the gopher snake.
Checking the ranges on this site reveals most rattlesnakes' ranges are in Southern Cali, rather than up in the Bay area.
