We used a broom/rake to get him in a deep sterlite box. Did not want to take any chances. Usually there is a rattlesnake in our yard every year, but even though the dogs have been trained in a rattlesnake avoidance class ( I highly recommend that if you have rattlesnakes around), they get relocated to an unpopulated area. People are too quick with killing snakes, but snakes do take care of the rodent population.
Over the years we have seen many different snakes here, usually king snakes, gopher snakes and garter snakes, usually we keep them around or relocate them before the neighbor puts them on his BBQ...
