2 The Nevada County Nugget Wednesday, April 26, 1972 EZRouwu gs kh. yw S.-i BWweady BT eve By Fay M. Dunbar 273-2934 Rain and rattlers don't usually arrive together but for the Frank Binders this year, it seemed that way. The unseasonal warm weather of about a month ago probably caused this little fellow to get going early. "This little fellow" was a baby rattler, about a foot long, killed right in their own yard on Rough and Ready Road about a week ago by Frank and Eleanor Binder. Seems there are 15 species of pit vipers (rattlesnakes) in the U.S. This continent is their native land. The diamond back is the largest, often growing to eight feet in length. Something wrong there! The western diamond back or Texas rattler only gets seven feet long. Another surprising thing to me was that the timber rattler, common to the East coast and smaller still, ranges from yellowish to nearly black and is "marked by dark, irregular bands". His Latin name is Crotalus horridus. Sounds about right. They say even the "little fellows" have enough venom to do the job. It's a rumor about buttons telling the correct age. A button forms each time the snake sheds its skin but sometimes they shed more than once a year. They also often lose a few in some accidental manner. Better watch out for more. The story goes that where there is one there is always more. _ Sounding Board .
