Timber Rattlesnakes do live up here on Glassy Mountain. I’ve seen three in the past 10 years. Copperheads are much more common. We see a lot of snakes in our driveway, and have even had two slip into the house! Today, though, our cat cornered a rattlesnake in our garage. A little too close for comfort with pets and kids outside. Here are a few pictures:
This is the same rattlesnake after I used a rake to move it out of the garage. It was not aggressive at all, just slithering along.
Hi.. I ran across your blog looking at property at Hidden Hills and I am definitely afraid of snakes. I have 2 questions … Do you still see snakes this often? And Do you Know what the stipulations are for the Hidden Hills subdivision? We do not want to build a ginormous house as we go into retirement. Thanks!
