We were out drivin’ up into a canyon and there was a black-tail rattlesnake crossin’ the road and I knew that was quite rare and I caught it. I had several rattlesnakes: green rattlesnakes, prairie rattlesnake, diamondback rattlesnake. All indigenous to that area and I brought ’em back. At that time, we were living in a trailer and I had the snakes. We had a paint shed, an outdoor shed for storing paint and kerosene and fuel and I had the snakes in that shed. The forecast was for a northern storm coming in. Temperatures dropping, so I was concerned about the snakes getting too cold. So I brought ’em in, I snuck ’em in when Marilyn wasn’t there and I put ’em under the bed.
