Spiders are my one fear.  Snakes, even rattlesnakes don't bother me.  Night 
before last, my son (who is 45) came in and told me there was a rattlesnake 
on my back deck.  I went out and sure enough a Red Diamond rattlesnake was 
all reared up and fearfully buzzin'.  It was between my house and my spa. 
My son had a shovel in hand and wanted to kill it but I adamantly refused 
that option.  We got a metal can about two feet tall with a lid, laid the 
can on its side, and my son prodded the snake with a long handled (four-five 
foot) paint roller.  It crawled into the can and I put the lid on and we 
drove him about 5 miles away and released it into a huge empty field with 
some hilly areas.  I search the net and found this Red Diamond rattlesnake 
is becoming rare and all sighting are requested to be reported.  Glad we 
could rescue one.
