Rattlesnakes percolating from dry Clairemont canyons
There are some good points in this article and a couple of errors. The author's best advice is to leave them alone. I hike 5 days a week and see people with off leash dogs running through the brush in Mission Trails, prime targets for a rattler. Adult western pacific rattlesnakes range from 22-55 inches in length, so if someone saw a 15 foot snake it was NOT a rattler. Call San Diego County Animal Control for removing a snake from your property 619-236-2341, NOT the fire department.— August 8, 2015 5:38 p.m.
