Apparently, making plans to put Zio through snake avoidance training has again tempted the Powers That Be because a pygmy rattler got him this morning. This is the 2nd time in about 9 months! :frown:
We have run across larger snakes, including a 5 1/2' eastern diamondback in a nearby park. These he has successfully avoided. However for some reason he didn't sense/avoid the dusky pygmy that nailed him in the nose this morning.
He's responding well to the antivenin, etc at Florida Veterinary Services & should be home sometime tomorrow.
<sigh>
