Fo...I too don't like to kill the rattlesnakes. For those of you that still have a 30 gal trash can, I find that if you put the can on its side and while holding the bottom of the can, slide the can in front of the snake. Stay behind the can to give you more protection then take the shovel and put it behind the snake and nudge it towards the opening in the can. The snake will go into the can for protection. Simply lift the can, put the lid on it, and transport it to where you want to get rid of it (please not in my area!) Be careful!Richard (client) in Tierrasantanoreply@blogger.com
