I have already had two baby Rattlers dead in glue traps in the garage. I usually kill 4 or 5 a year. Don't seek them out but if they come in the yard I deal with them. It's just part of living in AZ where you have acres of land around you. Just last week a 70 year old women was bitt on the finger by a baby, while gardening in her back yard.
The babies are the worst, and called no seeums, because they are so small, and haven't got their markings yet. I worry more about the dogs than myself, and always take a flashlight whenever the dogs go out at night.
If you make noise, look where your walking, and don't reach anywhere you can't see, the chances of being bit are pretty slim.
Here Snowbirds are more dangerous than the snakes. :B
