Notes

Good story behind this one. One day at the humane society of Dawson County, this lovely Timber Rattler decided to take residence inside of one of their kennels. According to the gentlemen who rescued and brought us the snake, the HS staff as well as the police were speaking of be-heading her. Unexceptable to someone who actually has a brain. A month or so later, on our way to the North Ga mtns., we released her back into the forest that she ever so dangerously ventered from. Now, hopefully she is brumating in a stump or in the tree root systems.
