    My neighbor just saw a rattle snake in his yard yesterday. Halfway between his house and mine. Ugh

    So they say... I've heard a few people claim otherwise though. They are in New Hampshire and Vermont.

    Kinda like how Wisconsin DNR used to say there were no mountain lions in Wisconsin. Well they walked that back a few years ago, but in the most DNR'ey way.

    It always bugged me that there is a Rattlesnake Mtn in Casco. One has to wonder why!

    I'm assuming you mean it got runned over, right? Or someone just threw it out there, after killing it?
    What with the hot weather y'all been having, a couple hours on the pavement there and that'll be xtra crispy vulture KFC! Num num!

    It had a flattened head. Didn't look run over...
    When I left for work that evening about 6:30 PM, a big turkey buzzards had it about halfway skinned.

    I’d be willing to bet there are some timber rattlers in Maine. Perhaps they are flatlanders from away on vacation.
