[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 772677, member: 637"] Here is what they say in Colorado when the season is not open: According to the Colorado Division of Wildlife, it is legal to kill rattlesnakes when necessary to protect life or property, provided that the method used is in accordance with city and county ordinances. Call your local police and animal control departments for details. The most common method to kill a rattlesnake is clubbing or shooting. The midget-faced rattlesnake (a subspecies of the western rattlesnake), the massasauga, and all nonpoisonous snakes are classified as nongame wildlife and are protected by state law, except as noted above [url=http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/natres/06501.html]http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/natres/06501.html[/url] They too tell you how to get him out of your house without killing it. They go on telling you about sweeping it up in a wastebasket, putting down sticky paper, then taking it outside, and pouring vegetable oil over the board to neutralize the glue so the snake can break free. Taking burlap bags, and wetting them down, making a bed for the snake, then taking a scoop and scooping up the bed and taking it outside. Image that snake when he boils out of that burlap sack when you are carring him outside!!!! :lol2: I would just go ahead and have the ambulance sitting outside the house if I was going to try that one. But still, the way they word it, I would not act like a nut over the snake if I saw a Game Warden. He may be a Barney Fife looking for someone to haul in. I would give him a very good reason why I killed him, and not say just because he was laying there and tell him that he is a punk kid. But if anyone ever runs into a GW and is looking for his first arrest, and uses the snake issue, do come back and tell us the story when you get out of jail, 'cause it would be fun for us and we could write about it forever. But not so funny to the person and their pocket book. Chuckie [/QUOTE]
