I stand corrected. Found these jingles on line. 4 Learn rhymes to tell the difference between the two snakes. People who live in regions where coral and scarlet king snakes are common have made up these easy-to-remember rhymes to help figure out which is which: Red touches yellow, kills a fellow. Red touches black, friend of Jack. Red touches yellow, kills a fellow. Red touches black, venom lack. Red touches yellow, death says hello. Black touches red, keep your head. Yellow touches red, you'll be dead. Red touches black, eat Cracker Jacks. Red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow. Red touches black you're all right Jack.

He killed it with a walking stick. From the photo this snake was a good 3 1/2 t 4 ft. The area that the snake was killed in is predominately timber rattler country but you never know what you may find sometime.

It is illegal to kill any rattler in Utah, and last I heard it is in the West and not known for being liberal.

Seriously, there must be a reason for such a blanket protection, but damifIknow what it is. Paul (the other one) Im not sure on state to state laws, but I know its illegal to kill certain species of rattlers in a lot of states. Reason being ( mind you, I'm the snake lover...) is the overwhelming urge people have to kill a snake just because it is a snake has actually put many species on the threatened or endangered list. Yes, Ive hunted and killed bunches of them, but in so doing I found there is hardly anything more innocuous than a rattlesnake. They are grossly misunderstood.

How long a handle do you have on those shower shoes? You do know those will kill you grave yard dead. My 6th Great Grandfather was killed by a rattlesnake and the feelings towards venomous snakes has not changed much in my family over the generations. I feel very confident when I say that none of us has ever used a shower shoe.
