Praire starting to wake up

In all honesty, I don't even feel compelled to stay in Ontario. Any part of Canada would be fine. Aside from my parents, I'm not tied down - no wife or kids, and even being unemployed (and remarkably, even with an addiction to knives) I STILL manage to bring in more money than I spend. So saving money isn't too much of a challenge! :D:D:D

So yeah, I'm always hitting up the MLS, looking for that perfect opportunity!
 
I see you have Massasagua Rattlesnakes up there. We have them down here but they are rare. It seems they prefer wet sandy swampy areas. A man was bit by one north of here a few years ago and none of the emergency room people believed him. I have heard they are supposed to be docile, rarely rattle and the bite is rarely fatal.
 
Hello Zman308,

In this little park they did release a few specimens. This was a couple of years ago and I haven't heard of any monitoring programs to track how well they are doing or even if they have survived. Within the country as a whole, the last I heard of a sighting was about 20 years ago, when I was a kid. There was the occasional capture of one in a backyard - I remember my neighbhor captured one in his shed and killed it at the time.

I have a buddy who does biological assessments in the country and I'll ask him next time when the last sighting was. He should have records of it.
