Letter To Editor: Warning About Rattlers

     Dear Sierra Sentinel:
     We just killed a rattler with 7 rattles on our property here in Angels Camp. Just thought we would let you know that they are out and about. They are looking for water and mice to eat, but will bite you if you get in their way.                                                            Rattler Killer in Angels Camp
Dear Rattler Killer in Angels Camp,
   We thank you for the warning and would like to add that folks with dog doors should also be especially careful when the temperature increases drastically.  Last summer a resident in Copperopolis had a 42" rattler  with 10 buttons come in to the house and greet his wife by the kitchen refrigerator.  The Copperopolis fire department was nice enough to euthanize the snake and remove it from the property.
